Have they registered competing journeys on the 77 because I thought there wasn't any tendered journeys now?

I was under the impression the Sunday journeys on the 77 were introduced by NXWM last year on a trial basis with subsidy from Centro.

I presume these journeys will now be operated by Arriva, but with a round-trip time of 1 Hour 14 minutes (Plus layover), they will have to work with something. One possibility would be if Arriva have won the Sunday daytime 41 journeys from WMSNT (they have registered a timetable change on this service), which would give a combined round-trip time of 2 Hour 30 Minutes, putting in a bit of layover at either end and at Walsall and that would fit quite nicely into a 3 hour loop.

So the Walsall 25 has changed from Walsall Community Transport to the Ring & Ride people!

Remember when some of this service used to be the old 347!

Is that document the finished article or is there still more to be announced

I'm not sure what is happening with the 62 wolverhampton...


Diamond have lost up to 10 buses worth of work after taking into account the gains

A few emergency tenders were released after the main October batch had closed, and the outcome of these was released today - so no doubt will appear on Centro website once all finalised.
