Walsall Community Transport

Have gained the 67 according to today's TfWM email - which shows it running from Delves rather than Yew Tree, but also says the route and timetable in unaltered. Not in traveline so can't tell which is true.

Near as damn it one and the same area to be fair

SF68 LJZ is now branded for the 22.

Walsall Community Transport now also track on bustimes.org, so they must have had new ticketer machines also.

Since when did the 30 stop running?  Can't seem to find anything online timetable wise, so presume it was withdrawn?

Makes for an interesting change!  I'll have to catch that when I can.  Wonder of they'll keep the Orions on there or get something different?
