You tend to get about 5/10 mins late from what I see. Same with the 957, one was 20 mins down I think.

Not sure really, I got on it from Sheldon to Solihull and it was about 15 mins down. Later in Birmingham I decided to get the 72 back to Solihull, and 2 were due, so that one lost another 15 mins from Solihull to City and the 1 behind was about 5 mins down which he caught up by Chelmsely. The bus half hour down put his few passenegers on our bus in Chelmsley and ran dead - back to garage I presume.

Just seen a Honda Civic on its roof outside Kings Norton station, fire brigade were righting the car as I came out of the station. Queue of buses up the hill to the station as long as I could see. Expect long delays to Pershore Road, 18 and anything else thru Cotteridge.

5511/4 were running together on WN59 earlier this evening despite the 12 minute frequency.

Also the 25A/C may have been delayed/diverted today due to the annual Willenhall/Wednesfield Sikh Vaisakhi Parade today which follows most of the 25 route between Willenhall and Wednesfield.


Today:
59's running late this afternoon. 4536 was running nearly 20 mins late due to a parked Car blocking Queen St in W'ton (Again!)

Liverpool Street

The shit has hit the fan again on the Pershore.
