All decent bus stations should have adequate facilities, and wolves west brom and walsall all have pretty decent loos but has anyone ever had the misfortune to use the bog at Dudley bus station? ?? Jesus christ! Theyre like something out of SAW films!!!! A health hazard im surprised that A .. nwm allow dudley council to run such awful facilities and B theyre so bloody dreadful they oughta be shut! Also does the Connected City thing in brum include any provision? Cos birmingham council obviously want people to p##s in shop doorways considering theyve closed every bloody toilet theyve ever operated! Unless youre lucky enough to live in Harborne where theres 3!

At Halesowen there's no pay-to-use toilets for the simple reason that it's right by the Cornbow and Asda which both have clean and free toilets.

I have only been in the Dudley toilets once for about 1 second. I walked straight out again and have no intention to go in there again

wolves toilets are going downhill rapidly thanks to the tossers that keep vandalising them rendering them out of order

Bob

The best public toilets in wolves are the council run loo opposite beatties, attendants, soap, spotless, and even piped music! You wouldnt read about it lol

Bearwood bus station is terrible. They don't even have the latest standard shelters!

The sooner Dudley bus station is rebuilt to Wolverhampton standards., the better

At Dudley are there seperate staff facilities? I appreciate as a general rule males are less fussy about toilets, but you'd think some drivers would be complaining or trying to get the union/company involved in attempting to bring them up to standard if they also have to use these toilets, let alone the decent customers!

Do centro run the facilities at wolves walsall Stourbridge etc? Maybe thats why their of a higher standard,  I know the dudley bogs are run by the local authority that could be why their so bad, round the corner there's some other ones in flood st that are allegedly award winning, their slightly less dread but still not very nice. Mind you cannock council dont provide any bloody bogs anymore unless your lucky enough to live in rugeley then they run bloody 3!!!

Yes Bob, thats exactly why Wolverhampton/Walsall/West Brom and Stourbridge are of high standard as Centro run them.

The bogs in Walsall bus station are run by Walsall Council as there is a metal plaque on the wall by the bogs stating it.

Ahhhh I was pretty sure they ran wolves etc but werent 100% re walsall, those onea might come under walsall mbc. Though its not officially a bus stn but it is a busy interchange, bloxwichs bogs frequented by bus drivers are really really bad un refurbished since the 60s! And on sat they were shut!

I 'availed myself of the facilities available' at Dudley bus station the once, only out of sheer desperation as it was a long trek back home to Acocks Green. They weren't that bad, if you remember using a public toilet in the 70s.  :o

Opposite mcdonalds as the ramp goes up to what used to be a market area by the back doors to oasis theres a staircase going down with tiling that looks like a bog
