Took a ride on the 6 to Hall Green this evening, as I got off I couldn't help but notice on the ticket machine that the bus was 'Late 55'. :D

Four 16's in convoy at Birmingham Markets. In this order: 4806, 4805, 4801, and then 4499, I believe.

4811 as well.

I've seen a number of rather late running 99/36 buses over the past few days, including 831 running 30 minutes late today on the 99, another late yesterday as well and a 494X running 30 minutes late at about 17:15 on the 36 towards Sparkhill.
I have heard the drivers saying that with the current timetable, its impossible to run on time.
