What are the loadings like on the 303?

Could a route change benefit it?

I use it three or four times a week. From end to end it probably picks up no more than twenty people.  Most of these are concessionary pass holders

Yes the 63/64/65 was Arriva and possibly Midland before that using Darts, Diamond took over as I remember seeing a StreetLite WF or smaller DF on there once usually was Operated by Solo's. The 303 was operated by Igo using Enterprise Plaxton Primos possibly around the same time they started on the 65 in Darlaston replacing Arriva on that route, Diamond then ran the route using Primo's and I believe they had the Mellors on it at one point. The 303 is kind of a pointless route Runs from the middle of Bentley doesn't even have a bus stop at the terminus to Bilston a route which crosses over with the 23, 37, 326 and 529

You are correct, Arriva took over the 63 etc when they bought Wednesfield based Midland.  The Primos (horrible things) also found their way on to the 63 group and the 61 (Wolves city centre to Goldthorn Park, now a NX service) taken over from iGo.

Yes Igo operated all of them and the 80 in Moxley, the 53 to

Doesn't Surprise me with the Brum Mail the 52 and 33 do not even go that far down the Birmingham Road, they could have also got the 997E Mixed up as that does serve Walsall via Pheasey

Someone got their 51 and 52 services mixed up!

You mean they got their 33 and 51 mixed up.
The 52 serves Perry Beeches not Pheasey
