Looks like the 16 might be having a bad day, just had a 15 minute wait on Priory Queensway for 4805 to show up with a 16E to Church Lane.

There was another 16 branded E400 which carried on along Moor Street Queensway, running back to garage, presumably. There's some bunching of services in the City; a Gemini and an Enviro just arrived on Old Square, just as 4805 & 4692 (which I'm on now) leaves town.

I'd say it's a bad day for the X22 but it's just another normal day really. 2 X22s turned up at Priory Queensway, one of which went out of service and done one, not long after another X22 had been and gone. Also 2 X21s together at Priory Queensway - shortly followed by a 3rd.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

51,952 and X51 were a mess this morning. Perry Barr flyover enternace was blocked so services were having to use the Wellhead Lane slip road. I left walsall on time on my 51, got to Scott arms on time, by the time I got to 6 ways, was 25 mins late.

Inspecting I presume?

07:59 X2 from Yardley Swan to Solihull Station which was 6890 turned up 14 minutes late this morning at the Swan and the ticket machine stated 24 minutes late once it got into Solihull Town Centre just before 09:00. It terminated short of its final destination in the Town Centre and the 08:21 from Swan which was 6830 followed in just behind it.
Not very good that the driver didn't change the destination display and consequently the announcements to inform passengers of the decision and started the return journey to Birmingham without informing passengers.
Full to capacity, it left half of the passengers waiting for it at the Swan behind and it drove past at least 20 passengers waiting for it along Old Lode Ln and a few more at Brays Rd (the 07:54 must have drove past these passengers as well due to being full to capacity).



Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

His post sounds like a bus drivers post

That would be because he is a driver...

Edit: @CL didn't see your post above, sorry!

Just seen an 11 and an 11A running together up to Dudley, with another a couple of minutes behind. Have the roadworks up near the Myvod area started yet?

That plus peak traffic would explain it then. The 11 I caught home was 12 late too but that's nothing unusual.
