VERY Late running services

[Mike K]

The x22s are very bad tonight, although it seems I made a good choice in getting off at bottom of metvhley lane and getting the 11, as the 19 is running 10 down and I presume
Left QE on time and same with the 48. Harborne high street must be bad

There are major roadworks, single file traffic and temporary lights on Harborne High Street this evening. Capped off a thoroughly sh*t day's commuting for me. Just got off 6836 which is 24 mins late, the 24 in front was adjusted to Four Dwellings mid-journey.

They must have to pay some serious overtime on the Harborne and QE rotas.

4125 operated the 15:30 departure
4155 came from garage and operated the 15:50 departure. No 3 buses in a minute you claimed and no very late running

27s experiencing some trouble.

[Trident 4194]

The 15:10 48 from bearwood towards northfield hasn't shown up as of 15:25. Showed up as being on time on the tracker then disappeared @Tony

Looks like a lot of overtime to be paid tonight on the x20,x21,x22. Radio message came out whilst onboard 4879 but unable to listen to what it said.

Hagley road was bad this evening. X10s running in convoy

[mesub]

The 23 timetable is in a shambles. Literally 3 buses on each side with mixed amounts of passengers.

I don't know if you noticed but the traffic in Harborne is nightmare. It was like that today when 3 24s turned up to New Street

According to BCC website, works started on 8th October and were expected to last for four weeks:

Must be nearly done then, or the schedule is over-running.

It's the roadworks on Harborne High Street that are causing the massive problems at the moment, rather than the bus lane works. There are temporary lights at the junction with Bull Street and they've been there since Wednesday - looks like some sort of emergency repair work to one of the utilities. It's causing chaos.
