Is the 126 the quickest way to get to Wolverhampton from Birmingham City Centre ? I know its the only direct link there but would it be quicker if I was to take 2 buses (I know it sounds counter intuitive but I was thinking possibly to West Brom then to Wolves ? It would save going through Dudley then up North)
I'm having trouble viewing timetables on my phone hence the post.

I appreciate any help

126.

The  529 and X51 can actually be quicker than the 126

I agree, I caught the 529 from my bus stop and then X51, only took 60-70 mins to Birmingham.

I've managed to check the 126 time table and the average journey is 90 minutes, so the X51 & 529 combo is faster,

Surely you'd use the Metro from Wolves to Brum or am I missing something here?

There were a couple of posters by Stand Q in Wolverhampton Bus Station. "On Monday 16th May from 08:00am until the end of service Friday 20th May, the National Express 529 will run from Stand E. Apologises for any inconvenience caused."

I've read that 4583 is parked at YW with N/S and O/S lower panels missing. I would imagine it is having some sort of repairs.

Isn't stand E the old 6 stand?
