VERY Late running services

[Trident 4609]

Waited 15 minutes for 82 to Bearwood in Cape Hill, first 4 were 87s and 3 82s

There were 5-6 82's/87's running up Smallbrook Queensway in convoy this afternoon

Everything serving merry hill is up the hole. Just seen a pair of 276 Dudleys booming into merry hill, 297a to halesowen left 15-20 down, and even the 226 is leaving in threesomes!

Apparently there was an announcement in the centre telling shoppers they might as well stay inside and carry on shopping as the traffic was soooo bad, so not quite sure what had happened

Haha, they would say that!

I was thinking of going up Merry Hill for some new clothes this afternoon, good job I didn't.

It was still bad at 1800. 10 minutes from the bus station to Quarry Bank high street (by where a diamond Plaxton Centro had broke down on the junction of old high street) on the 002

It was 2091 and left Halesowen Bus Station at 23:15:05 (yes five seconds late), and arrived at the next timing point at Shenstone Avenue at 23:22:31 (1m31sec late). So your fault you missed it not NXWMs

I did not miss it as I was not intending to catch it (where would I be going at that time!), if I wanted to catch it I'd have gone to the stop much earlier knowing NXWM! It must have passed early then. Perhaps NX set their wayfarer time a little wrong yesterday with buses running early.

The bus runs by the time on the ticket machine not your watch

What if the ticket machine is wrong though?

[nitromatt1]

Yep, which is what leads me to think it was set incorrectly as the time is adjusted each night

It gets resynchronised every morning automatically so I doubt that.
