VERY Late running services

[37351ml]

The 23.30 16 from city left snow hill 23.59. The 16 frequently suffers from late running in the late evenings, i’m guessing the 30 minutes allowed from hamstead to city is too little and there is no recovery time once one of the boards is running late.

4860 departed around 50 minutes late from Birmingham City Centre on the 20:17 937A due to roadworks on the Perry Barr Flyover and Newtown Row heading into City. This meaning that services are having to divert via Birchfield Road to the Barton Arms, then down Alma Street to Milton Street before going back onto normal line of route.

Just the ticket machine stuck on the wrong journey number

Nearly a half hour gap in service on the 97 this morning. Followed by 5 buses in 10 minutes.

That's not a timing point though. First timing point out of Solihull is Wheathsheaf where it is due at 0723. He arrived there at 07:22.

Cheers @Tony. I suspected it would be right time at the Wheatsheaf.

Just got off 6871 on the 23 and the ticket machine was showing 140 minutes late. Now reliability of the 23 has descended into a shambles of late, but I suspect this was some sort of error.

Bus services have been disrupted all day because of the weather and traffic conditions. I believe Tony has pointed out before that this kind of 'anomalous' reading might occur when a bus has been 'adjusted' in service but the journey details on the POS unit haven't been updated. (Or something to that effect!)

Yes, it is on running board 24-16, but for some reason has picked that journey up as the 16:37 from 24-17

55 and 94 seemed to be disrupted this evening.
A large crowd of passengers waiting on the stand.
1788, later followed by another Omnilink and Gemini arrived NIS and presumably had been adjusted alongside 3 rammed omnilinks that had come in on the 55.
The 2 Claribel buses on the 55/94 left full as well.
