So where can you 'go' now?

Does the driver rest room still exist down the steps behind the stops for the 120, 126, 140/241?

Not sure about for drivers but the public toilets at dudley bus station have been closed down. Crazy thing to do. Shows the council got nothing but contempt for passengers

Dudley council have done passengers a favour closing those disgusting toilets!  :P
My locals:

11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Wednesdfield is closing in April, lost all its tenders for April, services that are left are going to cannock until contracts are finished, Tamworth is getting the 35 which will be extended to Tamworth. GM was pulled out a number of weeks ago and sent to Shrewsbury interim is there until closure. Diamond secured most of the tenders this year. Hence the reason for the fleet increase in O licence.

Its good but its not right.

Did Arriva even bid for the tenders that Diamond have won? It seems like the perfect opportunity to close Wednesfield, many of the routes lost would be the ones that were awarded to Hill Top 5 years ago. Since then it has been apparant that Arriva have been losing interesting in the Centro area, with numerous withdrawals and fleet size shrinking.
