How times have changed...

[Stu]

This evening while travelling home from work, I noticed that temporary traffic lights have been put up on Stratford Road in Sparkbrook, as there are some works being carried out in the road right by MSL.

Ordinarily at any other time, this would cause huge problems and delays, with all Stratford Road services suffering.

Not today though! Just a little bit of a wait in a small traffic queue until the lights changed, still arrived at the timing point by ALDI on time.

It really does demonstrate that the best way to get bus services running more reliably is to have less vehicles on the roads.

11C departure screen at Fox and Goose still said at about 13:30:
- 2 minutes, 7 minutes, 19 minutes earlier despite that its supposed to be every 20 minutes.
Think the one in 7 minutes was 6107 and the one in 2 minutes was an 11 Branded.
Not sure how they can be within 5 minutes of each other in that case, despite reduced levels of traffic.
The 11 Branded one in 2 minutes must have been 15 minutes late?
