According to gov.uk the change is in October as the service is cancelled by Diamond from 1st October.

Select are also gaining the 297 (Bridgnorth - Kidderminster) and 436 (Bridgnorth - Shrewsbury) which is 4 buses worth of work. As well as the 406 which is another bus worth of work.

Shame Select don't try to capitalise on dead mileage by doing dead mileage runs.

They've got a new depot opening in Telford so dead millage won't be that high

Oh really? Interesting. Just for Select or will it be shared with Chaserider for their Telford tenders?

Even so, the point still remains, Select has a lot of dead mileage and could significantly improve the overall network (bearing in mind the combined ticketing with Chaserider) which then increases bus patronage in the area benefitting everyone.
