VERY Late running services

[WMT3000]

A big gap in service on the 97 this morning - the only route in the west midlands with a lower PVR in the rush hour than at midday 🙄

[CL]

Three 6s heading Dudley-bound, just passed Russells Hall Hospital together.

A Streetdeck, a Trident, and a B7.. (Sounds like the start of a bar joke 😂)

edit: just passed 4441 on a 6E for the RHH

[Kevin]

3 Pershore Road vehicles stopped at High Street without drivers, blocking the turn from Carrs Lane. Genius...

Any services using Smallbrook Queensway & Holloway Circus will be ridiculously late now. Apparently someone was blocking it up and now it's choc a block.

2 X21s arrived at Weoley Castle Square at the same time this morning. How is it even possible for the other one to be 15 mins late already.

[Trident 4194]

4 11Cs in convoy one was a 11E to kings head bearwood

That's a usual regular occurrence for that route.

The 952's were in pairs this morning, 1892? And 1839 following each other to the City at 8:05.

Any reason why the 11A was so bad this morning. Numerous buses running NIS past bearwood, before an 11E Harborne arrived

Traffic probably?
11's are always like that to be honest, I regularly end up waiting ages for them. A hold up on one side of the 11 can easily cause delays on the other side of the city on that route. There's a timetabled 11E to Harborne in the morning, so it could be that one you saw, it doesn't mean that its terminating short. Paticularly at peak times, but the traffic is hardly NX's fault.

Some people just don't realise what a long (26 mile) route the 11A/C is. Some time ago, I was waiting at a stop near Acocks Green/South Yardley, and someone was complaining about waiting ages for an 11, they thought I was taking the piss when I said it was because of some roadworks in Handsworth (at the time), "but that's miles away!" was their response.

Whilst a small number of people may make longer journyeys using that route.
The majority of those who use this route do however, only tend to make relatively short local journeys. Which is probably why people in Acocks Green or Yardley may not be aware the 11 goes to Handsworth, etc.
I overheard a passenger come down from the top deck of 6126 earlier when the driver was announcing that it was going to be diverted asking if it's going to the Hagley Rd, Bearwood. Bearwood is approximately half way round from Stechford, so a 90 minute peak time trip. He'd probably have got there quicker catching the X1/X2 and 9/X8/X10.

I think the problem was/is somewhere around Stechford. My 55 home from town around 7.30am yesterday was 16 late. This morning the inspector at the stop was talking to the driver about it and mentioned that all 55s yesterday morning were runnning about 10 minutes late.
