Does anyone If Coastliner actually operate anything, I think they did or do the Rodbaston (South Staffordshire) College routes. Occasionally on a Tuesday or a Thursday at about half six I used to see there Commander and sometimes there Solo either passing the 79 I was on in Bilston or parked up at the bus stop outside Aldi Moxley in the Wolverhampton direction. I think I have only ever seen the Commander with Passengers/Kids on

They don't operate any public bus services.

There are two school services listed on their website, 804 and CH1, dated as 'from September 2022' - either the website is out of date, or these are closed-door services, nothing listed on BusTimes or TfWM website.


My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

They operated the shopping bus from Sainsbury's into Wombourne village (Tues and Thursday) which was previously operated by Midland and for a short time by Arriva.
