Parts of the City Centre are gridlocked.

Just looking some buses are running nearly 2 hours late after getting delayed both inbound and outbound from City

THe ones on the A34 don't seem to be moving at all (yes I'm bus times spotting  :grin: )

Can see a few of those buses having to be parked up soon for exceeding driving hours

Not seen it this bad since we had the WW2 bomb in Aston a few years back

I've just come home on the X51 (no trains). It looks like there may have been a vehicle/pedestrian on the exit of the Perry barr underpass. The underpass is closed in both directions and the normal road is also closed towards city with services having to use Witton Road

I've just come off 6870 running about 50 mins late with 6861 just behind not tracking but I'd guess about 30 mins late if it's the journey after. 

City Centre was horrendous as you say, I'm hoping that was a one off.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

Well I hope car/pedestrian incidents are one offs as well!

Stratford Road services being heavily disrupted due to an accident in Sparkbrook.

From what I heard as I walked past, someone had been knocked over by car, quite seriously it appeared, may have been a fatality.

Road was blocked in both directions with a large number of buses all stuck.

My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Danthebusman

E090 running 31 minutes late on CV 18 due to the diversion around Spon End.

Danthebusman

Stones Stanton Road traffic battering the CV 21s with some running 30+ late.

Buses leaving Dudley look a mess. 11/11A delayed by an hour

Due to the carnage caused by whatever was going on on Moor Street this evening I actually gave up on waiting for a 23 and walked part of the way home. Eventually picked up a bus that I assume must have started service from Five Ways, Calthorpe Road as it wasn't busy. 

Haven't seen things that bad in a long time.
