As some on here know I work for Asda at the Redditch store.
Well I can confirm ASDA have asked Diamond to provide a free bus from the bus station to the bus shelter on Jinnah Road. So far since Monday Signature buses have been used. As far as I know it is every hour and leaves the store at about 5 past the hour and the last bus from the store is 17:05 which seems crackers as we close at 2200 so might want a slight tweak and a higher frequency to get a higher usage.
I assume the operating hours & frequency are down to ASDA & what they are paying Diamond to operate the service

I should imagine it is a contracted service

Contracted yes but I'm not sure of the terms, by that i mean the frequency but then again Diamond might not be able to get to the desired frequency.
Also as a guess most people wild if do with thete shopping & with Xmas not far away asda could extend the hours the bus runs for
