Anything going through Holloway Circus will be late today. I don't know what's happened but it's worse than normal. Taken us a good half hour to get through it.

Looks like all of the Edgbaston/Uni routes are affected this evening. Already a couple of 61/63 shorts to Northfield and bad delays. Apparently due to the roadworks on the Bristol Road.

Yes the NXWM app shows X22s due at Uni Station in 1, 1, 32 and 33 mins a short time ago. Reliability seems worse than the old 22 but at least there were more of them.

perhaps you might like to explain how buses can jump over traffic congestion in Birmingham City Centre

Late for work:(

First Saturday of the latest Broad Street diversions and Bath Row is already piled up all the way back to Five Ways by midday...
Yeah there's a bus lane but that's half way down, the buses still have to get there first
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

23/24 have a one way in one way out of city.  But it does not help when the tories are in town with there ring of steel.

Point of fact here. Ukip conference this weekend, not the Tories

Very much correct, I attended that conference and rather than try and figure out where buses were stopping I just walked to the ICC instead, it was about a 15 to 20 min walk from Carrs Lane, so was probably just as quick.

With all the building work going on and areas fenced off, Birmingham city centre feels more like a disaster recovery area than a "vibrant public realm" at present.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Sh4318

A 9 branded MMC and 4437 on the 12 both heading to Dudley but only 5 minutes apart. Peculiar.
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A
Semi-local routes: 54, 80, 87

Most used routes in bold

Trident 4194

This mornings joke of a service. 864 broken in the QE hospital, resulted in the 11:00 not departing.
4236 came in 20 mins late after being queuing outside the QE for 20 mins. Went round to the railway station where he told us another bus was 6 minutes behind and he was told to run private. About 15 minutes later 4259 arrives, luckily not packed.
The x22 were running badly too from what I could gather
