VERY Late running services

What about 2101?

Wondered how late he was

Wondered how late he was

If you don't know how late he was how do you know he was late at all? Do you have any logic?

[Stu]

One I remembered from yesterday evening, there were 5 17s all behind each other, on the Coventry Road approaching Bordesley Circus.  :o

Wondered how late he was

Even if I could be bothered to look, how could I? no time, no location, not even a date

My dad said he waited an hour for the X51 this evening from about 6:15
Glad I finished work early today!

wonder how many 51s he let past?!

[Kevin]

wonder how many 51s he let past?!

Did mention that to him and his response was that the real time screen should have said about the delays

What did people do in the past before apps  and rti

What did people do in the past before apps  and rti

I used to just sit/stand patiently. Of course, I remember a time when not all bus stops even had any timetable information at all!  ;D

Even nowadays, with apps and RTI, when I'm stood at Bordesley Station and the next 900 or 957 is 'due' in 20 or so minutes, I'll just get on the next 58/59/60 and take my chances  :D

Sit at bus stops assuming the bus would run on time and get even more frustrated than in the present day
It's a useful thing, technology

Why does the 1937 X96 Stourbridge - Wrens Nest always run late. Every time I catch it (Monday to Wednesday) it's always up to 10 minutes late

Today it was 7 down off Stourbridge.

Anyone...

I used to deliberately run late on routes. Only so I can floor it down the route. Other drivers do it too.

7 minutes ay that bad (not very late running), maybe it was due it earlier traffic problems and was still trying to recover???

Worst lateness for an X96 I have experienced was a Sunday last year where roadworks and Merry Hill traffic caused a 45 minute delay!!

Yesterday evening ~6pm there was an X51 to Cannock due in "10 mins"
If it was then it was 45 late because the last Cannock run is 17:25
