VERY Late running services

[Westy]

2017 on Wn 9 currently running 15 minutes late on the 630am from Walsall.

(Happened to notice it when coming into Walsall on the first leaving Cannock X51, that it passed us in Hatherton Road, my first thought being 'Has the 655am been sneakily retimed?', because as you know I have to keep an eye on the 9 for my sister, but cross checking Bustimes revealed different!)

Can't she do it for herself ??

Can't she do it for herself ??

In a nutshell, no.

(Ive managed to work out a way for her, during 8 to 4 hours, of getting back from Wednesfield to Bloxwich, not using the Wn 9, involving the 59 to Ashmore, changing to a 69, then changing to a 326 at New Invention back to Bloxwich, at night, but cant seem to do the same going back the other way, especially as you cannot guarantee that 326 at 715am from Bloxwich will run for starters!)

I know its weather related before people start but the first X51 from Cannock is running late, about 15 to 20 mins.

Due at 0636 at my stop, according to Bustimes, not arriving till 0653.

31 & 32 must be struggling getting off the estates as well.

Yes, roads are all frozen around Great Wyrley & Cannock

You can see here that the driver left Bloxwich on time on his first journey to Cannock

Roads extremely bad around Bloxwhich the 11:15 9 of Walsall hasn't even reached Walsall and is 15 minutes late, the 09:48 41 2136 is still in Walsall, 2123 on the 10:48 is about 15 minutes late and the 11:18 doesn't even appear to have got to Willenhall yet either, my mate is 2123 now he was expected to wait 5 minutes for the 9 or so

Are you watching BusTimes or have you seen these yourself?

I know these as my Mate has come back from work and lives in New Invention he asked me what time rhe buses were, I checked Google and told him a 9 is due at quarter past I asked him if the 9 was there as it should have been, he said it wasn't, I checked where it was it had left Rushall 15 minuted late. I then told him the 41 was due at 18 past but he then said he caught it and sure enough he caught the 10:48 that left at 11:02 and there was another one which he said he saw but there wasn't a driver and that was the 09:48. The 11:18 should have been beating Walsall and it wasn't. Bustimes backed up what my mate said and can also tell me and I know as I've been out and live on these routes that the 34, 37 and 39 are all late 39 almost 2 hours Dodgy maths probably due to Roadworks and Snow, and the 37 which 1851 currently is on the 39 was on was also late due to Gridlock in Bentley from J10 to Willenhall so the 529 would be Late to. According to Facebook it is still Gridlocked now. 

Not everything has to be a lie it has been snowing @Westy did say the Estates around Bloxwhich were bad, The 9 serves Trevor Road, the 41 Lodge Farm which I know the School there posted they were understanding of pupils being late today as they said Stroud Aveune and the surrounding area was bad.

Just to clarify, I did say the 31/32 must be struggling getting off the estates, not that they were for definete, as I use the stop by Leamore Park, so dont live on the estate, so was relying on Bustimes, to see when the next bus was.

It was merely guesswork & common sense!

On the plus side, my sister's off shift for a few days, so no moaning about waiting for number 9's between Bloxwich & Wednesfield!

(On the minus side, she'll be nagging me about something else though!)

That's sort of what I based the 9 and 41 being Late on Same reason the 34, 37 and 39 are all late to
