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.

I caught that from Birmingham to university about 3:40, ended up 20 minutes late already by the time I reached university. I shall be getting the 61/63 in future

3303 on my 9 was 30 minutes late.

Or the fact a lorry has shed it load by Five Way
Could TfWM/NXWM also install shelters for people to wait in at North Gate and RTI screens at University North Gate and QE Hospital/University Station so people can see how long they will be waiting. Can't see why not when much less used stops across the West Midlands have shelters and RTI screens.

42,74,87&126 were running late this morning due to an accident on the Dudley bypass and the resulting traffic tailing back onto Castle Gate Island.

Looks like all of the buses on WA45 are running late today. 1941 left West Bromwich around 5-10 minutes ago on what I assume should have been the 15:15 45 to Walsall, and 1847 has just left on what I assume should have been the 15:45 45 to Walsall.

Sunday is regularly chaotic on that route due to Bescot Market

Currently got a shelter full of people at the kings head waiting for the 11C, which doesn't look like it has turned up for over 20 minutes now. 6130 has passed NIS and there's a Gemini parked on the hagley road. Not good service at all

Must have all been full then then amount of people waiting there at 8:35. There was no 8:35 11A that's for sure. Apologies meant the 11A not 11C

Think it is going be like this for a while due to 10/S. Was on the 54A in the afternoon and 54 was behind me and I did see the same on the opposite direction.

Don't know why NX struggle with these tender routes. They struggled with the 36 when they had it but maybe it's because of it's unusual frequency I don't know. But either way, you're probably going to have to deal with it I'm afraid.

They struggled with the 36 because they drove safely and to the speed limits and didn't just miss random bits out off their own free will like Igo were doing

Yeah but people will start complaining when the bus doesn't arrive on time. (Which is partly the reason why this thread has over 150 pages).

They complain even more if you kill someone from dangerous driving
