VERY Late running services

[2206]

Absolute carnage again this morning. Tyburn Road was queuing from Kingsbury Road last time I saw it. Should have got to the Vale at 7.50am. Almost 9am when I got there.

They tried to run me dead to relief in 35 minutes, but the A47 was static at Spitfire, so I went up the Chester Road to Court Lane, up past Perry Common terminus, the queue was from the island on the middle of Wotton Lodge Road, so I spun back around and went up Maxtead Road to College Road and up Warren Farm Road. Queued up to the lights on Hawthorn Road and have had to pull over on Kingstanding Road to have my RTA break

11s were all late and overcrowded this morning. At 08:00 overcrowded 4303 turned up on the 11C, with also overcrowded KV03ZFS (Strange seeing it still in Ward End at 08:00) and 4679 following behind. There'd been no bus since before about 07:20. Some passengers on the 11 were even giving up and walking. All by Yardley, Yew Tree not letting anyone else on because they were to full.

This morning there were long traffic queues and heavy delays to buses around Walsall. Any ideas as to the causes?

I was lucky then at 7am!

Was hoping for a better day today, but the M6 closure brought motorway traffic into the Tyburn Road and by the Jaguar. Took 30 minutes to get from the Bagot to the Vale on my last trip this morning. Came off 35 minutes late and had to get adjusted on my last trip to relief from the Vale. Got to the Uni relief in just over 15 minutes

Delays and bunching on the 94 and 28s too. I was on a Claribel 94 that had to terminate early at the Fox and Goose and in the opposite direction there were five 94's in the space of 2 minutes, three of them one behind each other.

I passed a 28E Fox & Goose and 2 67Es to The Bagot. We were running in pairs on the 67 most of the morning​. I was quite lucky on my second bus as another one took up service in City as I got there so didn't stop, picked up people after Priory Queensway to help him out

Was the first Cannock X51 late by chance this morning?

Gets to my bus stop for 650.

A minute later, one comes down & passes me, with the driver gesturing.(Note to drivers, gesturing to passengers at speed is not helpful!) then a minute later, another one turns up!
