The whole of Broad Street seems to be almost gridlocked inbound. I lost count of how many buses were on it but lots of services bunched together.

3 29s in convoy going through Weoley Castle (2 29Es)
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

Broad Street services seem to be even worse this evening. How long will these roadworks go on for?

It's not the Roadworks tonight. That is not where the problems are. It is the heavy traffic going into the car parks for the Disney on ice show at the ICC

Ah I see! Who knew Disney could cause so much trouble.

Do you know how long the roadworks will last though?

Was 30 minutes late just coming off due to the RTC and affected traffic.

Told to turn around at The Bagot on the next trip. The next 2 67s were right behind as I came off at the Uni. The one behind me was turned around at Lancaster Circus

@Tony Is there an issue with the Walsall 89 this evening?

My sister left work in Wednesfield around 5pm for bus to Bloxwich.

She rang us at 1754, saying she'd only just got a bus!

Got to the bus stop in Roseville today at just after 5PM and didn't have an 82 turn up until just before 6. Was there any issues that caused that?
