And why change the service number of the 37 to 337? Why do they need a different number (337 and 334), when NX already operate along the same route using the service numbers 37 and 34?

Keyboard error, my mistake. Apologies. It is indeed the 37.

What is the actual change to the 37 & 334?

Does one of them cover the journeys that are by 'Corporate Express' too?

Thandi always seemed to have a decent loading on the 311, at least at peak times, but if they are actually completely withdrawing from the route then I guess they just couldn't compete with the 11.

A bit more promotion & later after 5pm journeys back to Walsall would've helped!

Good point, the only promotion I ever noticed were the occasional stickers at bus stops near Dudley advertising the cheap short hops into town, but that's something NX were also doing.

But unless you know what to look for online, no one will 'know' about the service!

Why some companies will not bite the bullet & sign up to Network Wm's timetables, I do not know.

Besides Thandi's 311, you have other examples like Diamond's Walsall to Bloxwich services, that are not included on the timetable leaflet issued by NWM, that should be.

(And dont tell me, the frequency is comparable to Nx's, it should be on.)

I think a reason that why see off the 311 would be unreliability. I rode on the Ex-Stagecoach '56' plate Darts from Dudley to Tipton and it was extremely full and the bus has squeezed 3 prams on. Probably why they left the 313. I think they should focus on the 334, they've been running the route for years and been successful considering how many operators have gone into competition with them on it.

Do they run the 335 still into Walsall Bus Station with that MPD ?

Its easy to go and look it up on Traveline and see what routes they run.

Typed thandi in and no they don't.

Edit - Sorry, Yes they do, just remembered they operate some journeys on the 311 and operate the 335 as Corporate Express, so show as Corporate express on traveline.
