VERY Late running services

[nitromatt1]

4824 left Halesowen at 18.25 on the 241. I've never seen one leave so late, with the dropback in Halesowen.

@Matt just think more of this to come after the changes!

As an aside, I think my 142 driver confused folks when coming onto the 9 stand to unload before going not in service!

Hagley Road, Bearwood was causing really silly delays today on all services that pass through

Because of the roadworks there it is down to one lane instead of three through the junction

Yeah its chaos, I was driving along Hagley Road at about 11PM last night towards Dudley and they were just closing it all up, I nearly ended up in the central reservation because there was no warning that once you had crossed over the junction the lane was closed on the other side!

Friday nights last 99 from Birmingham didn't turn up. - @Tony, can you check what happened?

[nitromatt1]

Everything going through Bearwood has once again bit the dust.

I've seen 9s, 140s, 241s and the 48 I'm on now all running 25 - 30 mins late

[John]

One of the 28s this morning was nearly 30 minutes late getting to Dyas Road, it got to Hawthorn about 5 minutes before my bus

4822 was running together with 4821 from Quinton Stag to Dudley. Therefore the 15:15 241 from Dudley didn't depart till 15:40


Several 126's have been running in 2's this afternoon also. I was waiting for the 9 in Bearwood about 14:55-15:00 and the traffic was terrible

Yes, that has been the norm throughout the day.

2107 with the 07:35 71 Sutton Coldfield - Solihull Station running 20 mins late this journey was terminated in Chelmsley Wood

[Kevin]

something's up with the 98 atm, potential normal, haven't caught the bus round here for a while, but been sat by uni with some old friends for nearly an hour now, saw 4 99s but not a single 98

[Trident 4609]

Waited AGES for a 59 this evening. I must have been waiting 25 minutes. Two arrived together (2064 and 4542 which neither were on here during the day).
