VERY Late running services

[MW]

What's the -1+4 minute rule

You can run a minute early or up to 4 mins late. As long as you run within that window, you're on time.

I always thought it was up to 10 mins though.

10 minutes would be a bit much, no?

Still no heed for a personal attack on a driver who you made identifiable to any down the route who according to the tracking system stayed 100% within the traffic commissioner's -1+4 minute rules for an entire round trip from Walsall to Hasbury and back.

Ok I apologise I needed to get to work on time. She arrived at my stop 10 minutes late so don't know she complied to that

@Tony has stated some times the ticket machine logs into the wrong route board as someone mentioned with the 23/24 was showing 120 minutes late when it was not

I didn't say 100% every trip. I don't know which one you were on, but if the driver can do a complete round trip on time it is not her driving at fault. How come 28 minutes has suddenly become 10 minutes?

The answer to that then is catch an earlier bus!! If a minor delay is going to cause you to be late, get the one before just in case!

Do hope it wasn't my work friend's sister driving?

I believe the 10 mins late is when TfWM class the trip as withdrawn unless there is a valid reason for lateness

They'd have fun with the 11 / 11a then!

According to that there would be barely any university services running. @MasterPlan

Perhaps, but the route has become untenable due to those traffic lights. My bus to work this morning arrived into the City Centre remotely on time for the first time in weeks but that's because the usual congestion on Edgbaston Park Road wasn't there.

All the way from selly oak retail park island into the QE is very heavy traffic. Causing large delays

Was at the QE today, all that traffic appeared to be caused by people trying to access the main car park next to the main entrance. Whoever designed that road layout clearly was clueless about how much traffic would be using it. They should have built the car parks offsite, like near the new Sainsbury's and had shuttle buses taking people to the hospital. When I came out there were two 48s within 5 minutes of each other so one must have been at least 25 minutes late.

4944 was 30 minutes late at University at about 17:30 on a X22 to Birmingham, large numbers of people waiting at stops, particularly University North Gate, looked like there had been a big gap in service.
Temporary traffic lights and roadworks on Edgbaston Park Road looked like they were causing delays as well.

Or the fact a lorry has shed it load by Five Way
