VERY Late running services

[John]

Birchfield Road buses and the 11's are running extremely late because the African Village (Crown and Cushion) is in a massive blaze. From what I've seen and heard a 33, 51 and 907 are stranded outbound  on the island...

I must have went through on the 907 about 10 mins before it all started. Heard the first call saying smoke causing reduced visibility then a few minutes later stating diversions. Must have developed quickly as there was no sign of fire when I went past

Was only 10 minutes late finishing at 5pm, coming from Sutton, but bet coming from City would have been worse

Since the 45 transferred to Walsall have noticed it's reliability has gone out the window. For example this morning one came into WB and want straight out empty followed by one in service a couple of minutes later. And have just passed two on Hallam Street with in a minute of each other both going to WB.

Odd one today, had to go to Russells Hall Hospital and noticed a single and double decker following each other on the 2A routte.

After I had finished the appointment, the 2 buses were again observed following each other, strange?

@Tony what happened to the 11:55 4H exiting Halesowen for Hayley green. Was missing again today. How you get away with such a shambolic service baffles me

I see you are copying Mr Jones wording exactly now, and then expect a reply, well sorry, No.

I will reply to people who don't try to be clever.

No, you will reply whenever you can prove someone wrong. Always first to tell me if I was mistaken. So I've learnt by now that you not piping up is practically admitting the service is awful

No, that journey didn't run. It was the only 4 H that didn't today.

Did all Diamond's run?

To my knowledge yes. Certainly did all day anyway.

Temporary lights on Grosvenor St West and 4901 broken down immediately in front of them wasn't helping matters tonight; having said that my 23 was only 10 mins late by the time I got off.

Yess could see a bus but the bus I was on couldn't see out the windows , ( steamy) and I got off the
Bus it was 44 mins late and the 126 was still rammed normally quiet by thr time I get off it

4901 came past me on Colmore Row NIS around 5pm yesterday (no doubt there's an explanation as to why it wasn't in service.....and why it was then parked or broken down on Grosvenor Street to add to the issues with the traffic yesterday evening)
