Thanks for that @Tony

First time I've seen 23s running in 4s (last time it was only in 3s, 6945-7).

Reliability seems to have taken a hit in the 23 recently (on both ends). Anything new major works going on in town?

Temp lights on kitwell lane

The lights seem to be changing at a good enough rate for traffic to flow somewhat. Even if that was a major issue, it doesn't explain some of the reliability issues for buses heading from the city centre.

1862 running roughly half hour late on Wa 9 & surprise surprise my sister is waiting for it!

3 guesses which bus company's customer service is gonna get it both barrels again by email later?

Edit - Has now caught it , but apparently running short to Bloxwich,  presumably because 4565 is following behind!

Whilst it can be incredibly frustrating when services are late like that, it's not because it's intentional or the driver just can't be bothered to run on time. There'll be a reason somewhere. Not sure what you want to achieve from your strongly worded email.

Look at Perry Barr when they was doing the roadworks with the flyover Coming down traffic there how late was the buses there

There was a very long gap in service earlier at Ward End heading towards City Centre. According to bus times about 40 minutes. Then 4483 on the 94 and 4487 on the 95 turned up together at about 15:10.

61/63's are all over the place this morning due to temporary traffic lights failing at the road works by the Selly Oak Railway Bridge. I'm just on 4932 on the 61 at the moment running 41 minutes late.

Something is seriously affecting the 16 and 74 this evening. I saw one 74 in 30 mins, and one 16 that went by full. Massive queues everywhere.

I guess the closure of the M6 at J7 (now open again) for most of the day has caused knock-on traffic problems elsewhere.

Would I be correct in thinking nothing was able to be diverted either, as there was no point really?

Looking at the earlier X51's on Bustimes seemed to suggest so.

I believe on other occasions affecting that area, the Birmingham Road routes ended up diverting via either Barr Beacon or through Newton Road, Stone Cross, up to Broadway, then returning to normal route?

No 997's in Birmingham for the last half an hour, where have they all disappeared off to? Been standing here for almost half an hour.
A minute after I posted this, 6718 turns up... Wheres the last 2/3 buses gone, 16:18 and 16:28 were no shows...
