Noticed on the nxbus website they are highlighting services experiencing issues, is this basically where they know they have driver shortages. Not come across this before.

94: Service adjustment between 9.30am and 1pm
95: Nothing perceived.

Looking on google maps it seems that the usual morning rush to Morrisons on the Chester Road is causing more traffic than usual.

Edit: offtopic but I'm laughing at how google maps is showing a severe traffic jam on Morrisons' car park. It KNOWS.

That doesn't make sense at all. As they are basically the same buses covered by the same drivers on both routes.
My issue in recent months on the 94/95 hasn't been lack of buses, they all seem to be there. Just all in the wrong place at the wrong time.

There were 2 X2's at Swan Island going towards Solihull Station together earlier 6849 and 6833. Bus times shows there was a 60 minute gap in service between these and the previous X2. So X2/X1 have reliability problems as well.

Also i've noticed a lot of 11 shorts to Witton/Villa Park recently.

Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

X1/X2 the small heath bypass is 1 lane each way + you also had blues playing at home today to add to the traffic

Also the congestion through Digbeth due to lane closures.

11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
