All Hagley road services screwed this morning due to temp lights and road works Portland road to just before five ways underpass

Harborne buses were similarly screwed this morning with some buses running 30-40 minutes late. Not sure if this was a knock-on effect of the above issue or something else.

1843 will be running late now just been held up before Stafford Road just before the Zebra Crossing on the 39 and I believe the Roadworks by Sandwell Aveune in Moxley started today. I have no idea what was holding up 1843 by the Crossing, traffic in the opposite direction seemed to be moving, I suspect based on the driver having to go around something that someone recklessly parked there car before the Crossing, or it was swinging wide to take Stafford Road as something was blocking it there

39 going to be running late today due to some genius deciding to put Temporary Traffic Lights on the Crossing on Willenhall Street just before the 39 turns down Stafford Road so the side to Bilston changes Green but the 39 is then unable to turn down Stafford Road as the red light on the other side is blocking it's turn 1836 must have been waiting to turn for about 5-7 minutes meanwhile the Lights then changed to Green on the Darlaston Side so it had to wait further before it could turn. Wouldn't be surprised If they decided to divert it down St Lawrence Way again.

39 is now on Diversion nothing mentioned on Council Website about these works either

Mobile tip collection at Ward End Park was causing delays to service.
Piles of rubbish was dumped in the road too when I went past.

I was on 4944 and it was fine once we got past that.

What I witnessed this afternoon was awful. As no bus had arrived after 20mins and with the fear of missing a train, I got a taxi to work that went past the park. One whole side of the road (in the road) was just being filled with black bags and all sorts of other rubbish. I've never seen anything like it.
