VERY Late running services

[Jack]

It's only £4 to get to,/from Birmingham on the bus when you add price of petrol & parking charges it cheaper to get the bus if your on your own

If it turns up that is.

looks like theres been an incident at kings heath high street, tonnes of buses locked up there for a good hour it seems. including literally every bus currently on the 50.

more people on bus means less people in car so less congestion so bus will be more likely to come so more people ride it because more reliable and company gets more money and increase service. But first people need to not go in car

Was Stagecoach's 36430 involved? Appears to have been 'stuck' in KIngs Heath since 18:44, and currently shows on BusTimes as "129 minutes late".

That's not all the reasons that buses are late.

yeah cause they also break down and stuff but more money=better maintenence because they can afford it more (in theory)

16 and 74 all over the place this morning. 

[Mike K]

23 and 24 running severely late this morning due, yet again, to roadworks on the one way stretch of Harborne Road, with traffic down to just a single lane. The number of times that road is dug up is mind-boggling. When I caught 6832 on the 23 it was bang on time. By Centenary Square it was running 31 minutes late.

529 seems to be all over the place. Two days last week I waited over twenty five mins. Not sure if the problem is at the Walsall or Wolves end of the route

Incident on Wolverhampton Road West 529 was diverted Churchill Avenue and Bentley Lane and a collision on the A454 between the Keyway and J10 was in the Car this morning heading that way and it was a nightmare. The A454 was probably as gridlocked as I have seen it in years. Well that was Today's issue. They were I don't know if they still are doing roadworks on the Willenhall Road  somewhere between Portobello and Wolves I read on the Express and Star
