Why the demise of the buses on Walsall Wood Road

[Dutsey]

I remember back in the day you used have loads of buses ploughing up and down the Walsall Wood road for example 392,393,394,395, 396 and the 991.

Why the change? Were all these routes not making money?

I cant believe there is no fast service between Walsall and Lichfield. There is no competing train service so this is a big surprise.

Any ideas why?

The 10/10A run as frequently as all of the 392-6 used to, so there is no loss of buses except the 991 which used to just carry a few pensioners on day trips to Lichfield most of the day
