The 12:25 29 from town is currently 22 minutes late. Apparently the 12:10 bus didn't turn up either.

26 mins and I've given up. The X64 and a much longer walk seem preferable right now as to avoid being late.

No need to exaggerate.
the 12:10 ran spot on time
the 12:25 didn't run. I don't know why, other than the bus remained at Colmore Circus.
the 12:40 ran on time

I didn't? Some guy at the bus stop told me about the one before. As for the 12:40 bus I left Smallbrook Queensway at 12:51
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

You said you gave up!

Yes because I'd waited almost half an hour and if I waited any longer I'd have been late!

So you were actually waiting for the 12:33 (which didn't run), and gave up on the 12:48 after 3 minutes despite the realtime on the stop telling you it was two minutes away?,

Yes I was. There is no realtime on the Smallbrook Queensway stop. I had to get the X64 just incase that 29 didn't show up either.

You see your original post said the 12:25 was 22 minutes late, It wasn't as you were waiting for the 12:33. There was no 22 minute gap in the service.

Surprised you haven't got either TfWM of NX app on your phone so you can see all stops on real time

It's 12:25 from the terminus is it not? That's what it says on the timetable online. Yes I do have the app, but that also kept saying "3 mins" or "4 mins" for the one that didn't show up so I couldn't risk it.

6764 and an Enviro200 on 69 were following each other in New Invention going towards Walsall, seen around 16:50-ish. 6764 not in service going out Walsall.

Further on the information that @karl724223 has reported.

- Armed police have been involved in a raid at a hotel in Birmingham this evening, closing off part of the city for more than two hours.
- Dozens of officers, some response and some with weapons, were seen swooping an address near to the Bearwood part of the city this evening.
- Hagley Road was closed for a period of time and then reopened.
- BBC Newsnight has claimed the vehicle used in the terror attacks could have been rented from the same road.
- West Midlands Police gave a short statement earlier, which read: 'There is an ongoing police operation, no further details are being given at this stage.

4722, 4723, 4731, 4724, 4720 all just seen leaving city on the 35 all in service to Hawkesley, by the coach station.

4 nifty-50 MMCs seen leaving within a few minutes as well. One E to Alcester Lane, one not in service and the other two to Druids Heath.

City appears to be gridlocked.

Don't think 4527 could of operated both journeys.
