Don't know if this was late on the day.
Its the Hams Hall X13 service. When I saw the 13:00 Hams Hall one a few weeks ago people were pushing and shoving each other to get on a 49XX on it. Some people just don't know how to queue properly or don't have any respect for other passengers it seems.

2022 roughly 12 to 15 minutes late on Wolves Service 9, according to Bustimes.

2nd Sunday on the trot, Wolves are having 'issues' it appears.

(And I was checking for sister, before anyone says!)

They need to do what Walsall garage was doing which was interacting it with another service which meant they had more time to get from A to B. Wolverhampton are trying to do whole journey one way in an hour and it's impossible as Walsall found out.

But surely that cocks up the other service(s) involved as well?

(I'm no expert obviously!)

What other service would you interwork it with?

On a Sunday only Walsall garage tried to do what Wolverhampton garage are doing by trying to do the whole journey in an hour and it doesn't work. Earlier on this year on a Sunday only, the 35 runs then comes back and goes out as a 77 then on a 6 then on a 41 then on a 9. That's most of the daytime took up. But they seem to have time when they come in to Walsall before having to go out on the next route so it must work ok. I'm thinking maybe Wolverhampton garage need to do something similar. It's only Sundays that they have a problem.

Trying to work out if 6859 is operating or not. Its showing as an X21 to City but no stops recorded until Uni Station.
Something has gone wrong as it has resulted in 6885 in the next journey being too full and missing out many stops with people at them.

Travelled into Birmingham this evening, it took me close to a hour to get from the M6 to the Novotel Broad street by the A38, it seemed the whole city was grid locked, is it usually this bad, how on earth can you keep to a time table with this amount of congestion

Might be to do with the fire near Hockley

This tend's to happen when events are on at the NIA and symphony Hall.

17:55 997 from Walsall hasn't ran leaving passengers in the freezing cold waiting an extra 30 minutes. I wouldn't mind but the 997 isn't as frequent in Walsall as it is elsewhere!

18:25 looks to be a no show either, baring in mind 1845 arrived just a few minutes late, wonder what the excuse is...
