@nxwestmidlands @TransportForWM Have been stood at Stonehouse Lane/Jiggins Lane stop for over 30 minutes for a bus towards Birmingham. No sign of either a 23 or X22. What is going on?

@LNRailway @ThornhillDave Are you saying that the reason passengers on board are being given - trespassers between Coventry and Rugby - is not true?
English
@ThornhillDave There is a points failure on the line down south which is displacing a lot of train crew. I do apologise about this. Are you able to let me know who is saying it is due to a trespass? ^GST
English
@LNRailway what is happening with the 17:26 from BNS as still sat in New Street. Other trains are departing for Coventry so it can’t be trespassers which is what we are being told.
English
@LNRailway @ThornhillDave I am sat on the 1806 to London Euston at New Street and there has been an announcement on the train's PA (from the driver or guard) announcing that the delay is due to trespassers on the line. The same reason has just been given as I was typing this.

@TransportForWM @nxwestmidlands This X22 has been 8 minutes away for the past 5 or 6 minutes, but now it is 9 minutes away. Is it actually coming? Is it heading in the wrong direction?
English
@nxwestmidlands When I got to the QE stop at University station at around 8.35 this morning, the @TransportForWM app said that an X22 towards Bartley Green was 3 minutes away. This bus never arrived - what happened to it?
English
@LNRailway Any idea when the 0725 from Berkswell to Birmingham New Street will arrive? Everything says simply 'delayed', which isn't very informative.
English
@bbctms Tuffers is thinking of the Life Guards and the Horse Guards.

@AvantiWestCoast I have just had a telephone call from my wife who is waiting for a train to leave Euston for Coventry. Do you have any idea when the train will leave? She is waiting on the 2230.
English
@WestMidRailway Unfortunately, the conductor of my next train at New Street won't hold the train, and now the next train to arrive (1756) has left two minutes late, making an already tight connection tighter.
English
@Drwallington @TransportForWM Hi Neil, this will be down to the conductor on the train. Apologies. -Ben
English
@WestMidRailway @TransportForWM Connections between buses and trains are often tight. Dismaying that the 1735 to Four Oaks left University early and the next train is cancelled. Would it have hurt for the train to wait until the timetabled departure time?
English
@nxwestmidlands @TransportForWM I am afraid it didn't. The next bus eventually arrived, but that was far too late for me to make my train.
English
@Drwallington @TransportForWM I'm sorry to hear this. I hope the bus arrived in the meantime and you managed to board it.
English
@TransportForWM @nxwestmidlands Waiting for an X22 towards Birmingham at Adams Hill/St Peter's Church. The TFWM app said that the bus was 8 minutes away, then 3 (both times in bold). The bus has not arrived, and is no longer listed as arriving on the app. What happened to it?
English
@WestMidRailway That's what I would have thought. I can understand closing the doors 50 seconds before departure, but not leaving a minute early. Still, as the next train is late, it's only 20 minutes I have to hang around.
English
@Drwallington This is up to the guard, but no. -Ben
English
@WestMidRailway If a train appears in the timetable as departing at 1709, should it really have already moved away from the platform when the time on the departure board shows as 1708?
English
@SamanthaTaghoy According to the Telegraph, a newspaper for whom you are apparently a columnist, 'The man suspected of driving a car into a Christmas market in Germany is an exiled Saudi doctor who praised far-Right politicians for combating the “Islamisation” of Europe'.
English
Dear BBC,
A Saudi Arabian man made a bomb and drove a car into a busy crowd at a Christmas market.
Why are you so desperate to pin the motive on whether he was getting divorced or had lost his job?
We all know why he did it.
Stop ignoring the obvious.
English
@nxwestmidlands But neither of those apps offer real-time information (although the @TransportForWM app claims to), they are both only as reliable as a printed timetable. Which, as I have consistently seen, is not very reliable.
English
@Drwallington I'm very sorry to hear this. I can only suggest to use the timetable apps available to you which would be TfWM or Citymapper for example.
English
@nxwestmidlands Just to let you know, the 1734 X22 from Adams Hill to Birmingham has also not arrived.
Neil Wallington@Drwallington
@nxwestmidlands The 1711 X22 to Birmingham from Adams Hill has not arrived AGAIN. The 1712 X21 to Birmingham from Jiggins Lane has not appeared AGAIN. How can two different routes consistently not run?
English
@nxwestmidlands A X21 bus towards Birmingham finally arrived but it's not possible to wait for both buses at the same stop. I had to run to the X21 stop, but by the time I got there, the X21 had past it. This is beyond a joke. There is no real time information available. When is the next bus?
English
@Drwallington I am sorry to hear this, please can you provide the details via the form on the contact us page nxbus.co.uk/west-midlands/… under the "still need help" section there's a drop-down box please select "complaint and feedback" so we can look into
