WINTER 2017-2018 - Snow Service Updates

[Tony]

What are the 11 and 55 like this morning, are there many delays, please?
Thanks.

You've just replied to my comment that Acocks Green & Bordesley are not sending any buses out so what do you think!

[Trident 4194]

What are the 11 and 55 like this morning, are they badly delayed and are there less buses than usual on there, please?
Thanks.

I'm sure you do not need to travel and are more than likely making an unnecessary journey.

Aparantly all services are now suspended

I'm not going out in it.
I was just wandering how badly they're delayed for them to stop sending buses out and was thinking by 09:30 sureley most buses would be already out, so was wandering what the average time between buses is.

[Trident 4194]

Is it me or do diamond seem to take a lot more risks regarding routes in the snow?

No, both companys attempted to send buses out, then stop when it becomes unsafe

Yes but diamond continued running the Hayley green loop all day Friday, nx had a few hours break no serving Hayley green. I know one bus was stuck but the diamond 4H route was ok- could have just followed that??

Diamond aren't serving Hayley Green at all. They've been terminating at Blackheath, So how could you know that the Diamond 4H loop is alright if no buses have gone up it?

Still suspended.

[Michael Bevan]

But today's conditions are a lot worse than they were on Friday...If they struggled on Friday, it's going to be a lot worse today. I think Diamond have made a sensible decision running only as far as Blackheath.
