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.
It really is causing chaos. There's also a temporary stop, replacing the high street stop.

Due to roadworks in harborne

The X22 doesn't serve Harborne.
And the roadworks finished yesterday.

There appears to be some low loaders blocking the bus lane and one lane on the Aldridge Road in Perry Barr heading toward Birmingham. I suspect they're unloading items involved in the demolition of the BCU, but it's causing traffic to back up quite a bit to the Kingstanding Road meaning buses are being affected. I got off 6745 on a 936 at around 08:00 at Aston University which the ticket machine was showing as 24 minutes late..

Anyone heard about issues with the 529 towards Walsall?

According to a tweet by a workmate to Nx this evening, his bus from Willenhall was terminated at Junction 10!

The 6:59 ☓21 was a no show again from the Square. Thankfully the next bus to turn up was an e400 as it was already 3/4 full upon arrival. Still won't prevent me from being late again though.

EDiT: Just as I wrote this another one goes flying past us. Absolute joke.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

Oh and the 11s are fuck*d

Board Wa 1106 was 33 mins late by the time it got to Walsall, at which point there was 3 vehicles for the routes, one on stand, the one I arrived on & another one behind.

As for waiting passengers, the stop was heaving & even 2 Plod had arrived  too!
