I think the 4M should change to 3. So there can be a express service to merry hill from Walsall has it takes 60 minutes on the normal service. But would a express service work on there
I'm pretty sure it is the most direct route possible, other than it cutting out rowley Regis hospital
I'd have thought an extended version of the 311, (that cut out Princes End and Tipton) would be more direct than the 4M, but even then I doubt you'd save more than 10 minutes.

But Probably in the peak hours it would be late running possibly if it goes through cradley Heath
I'm guessing that the 3 route number is being saved for future use, maybe at the forthcoming Dudley review?
Perhaps '3 Dudley to Walsall' (replacing the 311) alongside a '3A Dudley to Walsall' replacing the 313?
Either way, I don't see any point renumbering the 4M, as it is a variant of the 4 route anyway. And making an 'express' version wouldn't be any quicker, I'm sure.

A 311 extension? It wouldn't go through Cradley Heath if it is direct from Dudley to Merry Hill.

I'm with you on this one Stu, I think the 4/4M should be left as it is.

Hahaha, this is funny, a dumb post. I don't think NXWM would put a place name on the destination display if it doesn't exist. ::) Google has answers.
I go through it every day!
(Apart from tomorrow, as Im at the quacks!)
It was only a idea that's all I just wanted to see what people would say. I just thought it could do with a express service

@Bob - Only traveled around these areas because of the IKEA. I don't live close to 'Myvod', but I assume 'Myvod' is relating to the Pub, named 'The Myvod' & the road, where the 313(?) serves.
