They need to get the signs changed to only buses /private hire  with cameras to catch the car drivers  that ignore the signs

As I said, as far as I'm aware it would be classed as a moving traffic offence so only the old bill can do anything at this juncture

The X64, due at 6:28, 22 minutes late and the following one due at 6:43, 7 minutes late. This is exactly why I stopped getting this joke of a service. Bring back the 21 for God's sake .
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

In my years of bussing to uni I don't remember the 21 ever being that reliable itself
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Most Birmingham services seem to have suffered this morning. 4 120s have just left Colmore Row, 2 Tridents and 2B7RLEs. Perry Barr express services running in 2s and 3s. Sutton services also in 3s. 51s and 52s also running in 2s

5 Stourbridge bound 9s just arrived into Halesowen together. One has been adJusted as it was an E to Halesowen

We are crawling out of Halesowen on the Stourbridge Road, temporary 3 way lights too holding up the service

Looks like theres a problem on the Wednesfield corridor as sister has been waiting for an 89 for ages.

She's just got one back to Bloxwich.

Least she's on a dd, unlike me on the Dudley to Walsall route!

What would you like him to do?

Carry on past his hours illegally, have an accident and get prosecuted for injuring people?

If the driver didn't do that, he & NX could have potentially got a fine for that. It's a legal requirement so even NX can only do so much.

He was on time leaving city so didn't know he would run out of hours. Anyway drivers don't just do that, a supervisor will have told him to transfer passengers
