While they're at it, TfWm to do something about rerouting the Wct 25 permanantly from Slacky Lane, seeing the little buggers are down there in the daytime!

And this is the quandary TfWM faces.

On one hand, they ought to curtail/divert routes away until the police and local authorities sort this out, though on the other hand, they can't penalise the vast majority of law abiding citizens that these socially necessary routes are designed to serve.

It amazes me (not) that the police will jump at the chance to do an expose with the Express & Star about these issues, though when operators and the public call the police, response times are rarely served!

My personal opinion is that services after 1800hrs shouldn't run via Coalpool, Ryecroft and Harden until the police and local authorities can safeguard operators and passengers.

I completely agree 100%

Theyve introduced the diversion after 430pm. Jesus what sort of s##tholes are the areas it goes through. Theres a video on youtube with a bloke going round the area, its apparently been rated one of the worst estates in the country

[Bob]

Ahhh..prob not long for this world then

Has there been trouble with stone throwing on the railway too - 730206 returning from Crewe to Oxley was timed to stand at Bloxwich station rather than Ryecroft?

Both vehicles on the 19 tonight 505 and 506 have had windows smashed, so new diversion when it's dark is they will follow the 31/32 route from Walsall to bloxwich, which I think is the best option or stop running the 19 earlier. This has now left Chaserider with 2 less euro 6 buses untill they get repaired. 64, 505, 506, 630 and 632 all off the road at the moment.

It has been agreed that the 19 will run from Walsall normal route as far as Thames Ave at which point after 4pm buses will divert via Goscote Lane and Livingston Road to rejoin the main route, buses from Bloxwich will follow the same diversion. 

It would be pointless and a waste of money to run the 19 along the full 31/32 route between Walsall and Bloxwich as you suggest.

It has changed as of tonight even have a look on bus times, I thought the same about it being a waste of money why don't they just stop running the 19 earlier, if you look on bus times and drivers instructed to follow the 31/32 when it gets dark

Actually FYI  the route has been changed as of tonight and going forward it will go the same as the 31/32 from as soon as it starts getting dark the 19 WILL therefore be omitting all the estates and areas served!

Just looking at the 1605 from Bloxwich & 1603 from Walsall on Bustimes.

Fair trip / diversion out of service.
