When coming out of the West Brom game this afternoon after the match, the traffic management people had cocked up and allowed traffic along Birmingham Road in both directions - usually the outbound route is shut to clear all the fans first. 

This led to absolute chaos as cars and at least 3 74s towards West Bromwich were forced onto the wrong side of the road also delaying inbound traffic.

How such incompetence happened I have no idea as Birmingham Road outbound has been shut after games for many years.

That is surprising even for Youth games at The Hawthorns they close Birmingham Road, was Halfords Lane closed. At some point someone somewhere should have seen this was wrong

Temporary traffic lights at junction of Wake Green Road and Yardley Wood Road in Moseley had failed (again) this evening causing delays and disruption to the 2 and 3 services, as well as the 1, 5 and 41 as well presumably.

[MasterPlan]

Temporary traffic light on Moor St stuck on red so causing grid lock.

Were there issues on the 529 this morning?

Got to Walsall for about 650am this morning & there was a longer queue than normal.

6798 turned up a few minutes later empty(Guess this is the duty that runs dead from the depot around this time?) & loads up.

A few minutes later, I notice we seem to be playing 'tag' with 6764(?).

We get to County Bridge & one woman getting on says she's been waiting 25 mins & she's late for work!

Gets off at Willenhall & the driver says to me along the lines of 'Why are they moaning at me as Im only a couple of minutes late?

(Why tell a random passenger god knows?)

Could be anything with the 529, Roadworks although there doesn't appear to be any, M6 being screwed which again seems unlikely as it has Overnight closures so maybe they were overrunning

[BlackCountryBusSpotter]

1834 is 42 minutes late on the 39 and 1884 behind it is 13 minutes late. It also appears 1800 is missing so Idk if one of these was adjusted or held up by 1800.
1800 restarted the 39 was due to do 15:10 and left at 15:50 so 40 minutes late 1834 and 1884 haven't made it to Walsall yet. Is there a delay on that route

[karl724223]

All Hagley road services been screwed today due to road works on the slip road five ways inbound 

[Mike K]

23/24 also screwed once again due to closure of Harborne High Street for emergency gas works (again) inbound and Harborne Road at Five Ways down to a single lane.

6880 was 74 minutes late by the time I got off this evening. 

[BlackCountryBusSpotter]

Found out that most Walsall to Darlo services were screwed as they were doing Litter picking and Tree Trimming on the Black Country New Road there is also Roadworks on the Walsall Road and Tommorrow on Blockall there is more Roadworks delaying the 34 and 37. There would have also been delays on the 4 and 4M due to a Crash near The Delves and the M6 was busy so all that made the Walsall to Darlo Buses 40 minutes late well mostly the 39, the last journeys of which never ran
