I went to do my shopping at the new Aldi at Tunnel Road in Kings Norton and noticed that there was a bus stop bay outside so I was wondering as to whether there was any intention to extend the 35 or divert the 49 to serve it.
Thinking about it different new Aldi, but i'm surprised the 5 doesn't run past the new Aldi in Solihull on Homer Road. And there is a bus stop there already in the one direction. Would make more sense using Homer Road than Princes Way, as only thing on Princes Way is a load of trees.

I know it stops near the High Street on Station Road, but i'd have thought the Homer Road stop would probably be more convenient for people.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

Underhill - Merry Hill
Via Wolverhampton, Spring Hill, Kingswinford and Russell's Hall Hospital (limited stop along the cannock road and between Kingswinford and Merry Hill)

I would transfer 4922 - 4926 to join 4927 - 4936 at Wolverhampton for the services

I would send 2120 - 2123 to WA

So send more single decks to Walsall? - that's the last thing they need, then send a different type of bus not operated to YW (Euro 4 Scanias) to YW meaning stocking a load of spares, also to a garage that the last thing it needs is more single decks

Be my guest to travel on the 18 at peak times with a double decker, let alone a single decker, twice this week I've had to stand! Just because they're there, doesn't mean they're managing.

Transferring deckers out of YW? That's not a good idea

Though I think there is scope to name the 11 a cross-city route, as it's so short

Combine the 11 with the 59? Give a link for hospital for the north of Wolverhampton. 32/33 is another route that rather short combine that with the 79 as it already InterWorks with the 79 on Sundays
The Funny sounding Enviro 400

15 Wolverhampton to Merry Hill
15A Wolverhampton Merry Hill
16 Wolverhampton to Stourbridge

The 65 already provides a link between North Wolves and New Cross.

The 31 serves Shirley. Why would the 4A need to go there too?

Would a 101 extension to West Bromwich work?

Which route would it take? The 74 already serves to Soho/Birmingham Road extremely frequently. The (Diamond) 16 already serves West Bromwich

If the 4A was extended to Shirley/Solihull it would probably replace the 31 I guess.

After looping the terminus at Oxhill Road (as even I'm not evil enough to force the bus down Camp Lane) it continues down Sandwell Road to the A41, then right, right onto Park Lane and follow that all the way down to Newton Road, and then left and onto West Bromwich!

Absolutely no point whatsoever, the Jewellery Quarter and Winson Green is linked to West Bromwich by the Metro.
