Nice to Arriva are introducing a new route offering new links, I assume this will be similar to the former BCC 310

Lets hope its a year round service & not just a pre Xmas service.

It appears to be occurring on the same day as tender changes, I wonder if it is maybe the subsidised 610 & 327 services merging (I believe they already interwork?) and extended?

Arriva do appear to have lost a few contracts from that day.

No its the 229/610 that interwork i believe at Dudley

[the trainbasher]

And during the daytime they are commercial i think?

Yes, that's right Nathan

327 is Willenhall to Wednesbury isn't it?

Like Notepanel, it seems like the 327 and 610 are been merged into one route, plus extended from Dudley to Merry Hill

327 and 610 do interwork in Wednesbury  as when the 327 goes down towards the bus station it pulls into the lay-by by the bus station and changes to the 610 and the 610 changes to the 327 when it gets into the bus station.

[Trident 4609]

Must interwork again at Wednesbury then as it definetley interworks with the 229 at Dudley

[Westy]

Have to let my work mate know as he lives in Willenhall (not too far from Arriva Wednesfield! ), plus he goes to Merry Hell, but I doubt he'll use it for work (if it's the same as the 610, as I know that stops on the main road by Wednesbury Parkway like the 311/313), as he hates walking too far from the bus stop to work,  plus he gets his 'friend' to drive him!

Yes it will Nathan :) I believe its the 327/610 merged together then extended to Merry Hill from Dudley
