2078 having a trip on the 9 at 11:15 in Broad Street

On all day. Saw about 14:10-14:15 near Stourbridge

It's still on now, and could be one of the last buses out tonight.

Just been on the 9 coming back from Birmingham, Police were blocking off the Hagley Road so it was diverted down the Wolverhampton Road onto Ridgacre Road and past Tesco up to Quinton. The other direction (into Birmingham) appeared to be open as normal.

4824 is on the 246 today alongside 4197,4352 and 4353

Also 824 has been on the 222 today with the side and rear LED displays not working

824's displays haven't been working for a little while now I think.

There is only one B7 on the 276 today (2099) and it's on the wrong board, the 9pm 244 from Dudley should be 4350 if it isn't changed

Yep has been all trident and 1 E400 otherwise :)

Is there such a thing as the "wrong board" to put a bus on?

[JoNi]

One that goes under a low bridge!

[Ashley]

True but the majority of NXWM routes don't have low bridges

True but the majority of NXWM routes don't have low bridges

I think the only route ran by Pensnett affected by a low bridge is the 297

Yes although you have be to be caerful in Cradley heath as there are several low bridges which are not on bus routes, but could be used as diversions.

4824 on 222 in Brierley Hill at approx. 10:30.

I Reckon the 276 and 297 were quite delayed today due to some roadworks which have popped up on Coppice Lane, Quarry Bank. Quite lengthy delays up to 10mins due to 4 way signals.

Think there may have been problems on the 9 today, went through Lye at Liunchtime and every stop had quite a few people waiting, popped to the bus station and there was a huge queue for the 9.

The A456 Hagley Road was flooded at Bearwood, don't know if this had anything to do with it.

I had a nice empty 4820 on the 241 home tonight.

Had a peek at the running board on my way off, seems this board enters service in Langley at about 15:14 I think and does a 120 to Dudley, before doing the 15:53 241 from Dudley.
