Someone needs to get their backsides into gear when this shopping village is built?

Does anything serve that retail park where Sainsburys & Kfc is thesedays?

I've only ever been there when I've been in my sis in law's car!

(Looks like a fair walk from the nearest Service 1 stop, wherever that is!)

That has been suggested... it's awkward to find a suitable bus stop on the new part (i.e. Burger King) without having to loop round the actual retail estate. The nearest stop is Bridgetown before the bridge.

The retail village land has recently had new owners who have started work. There is an unused bus stop there already.

I had to direct the driver on the first 1 this morning  down to Walsall through the Leamore diversion, as he was going to go down the Green Lane route instead!

They have been all over the place this last week... so far on the number 1 I've been down Green Lane, Pinfold then Green Lane and today we went through Pinfold and Green Lane via Turnberry estate!!

The Volvo thats so unreliable it did well to even last a day on Pye Greens? I dont understand why tbey even put it back into service. Even less so use it on interurban routes?

The Arriva van was there when i was heading back, and weirdly a 06 plate Commander with no driver/passengers/blinds off was parked in the bus stop at the Parade just behind

Recovery truck just pulled up in front of it, looks like there's a van behind too.
