The 310 was, at one point : Willenhall-Darlaston-Wednesbury-Great Bridge-Tipton-Dudley-Russels Hall Hospital-Merry Hill
But I don't think, at least at any point recently, there has been a bus from Willenhall-West Bromwich, although I think Arriva would be reluctant to tamper with the 310 again, although an extension wouldn't add too long (around about 10mins direct) on to the route, but even with the current frequency (hourly), any extension would need a second bus allocated as the 310 has a relatively tight timetable (27mins each way, with 3mins layover at each terminus). I doubt that would happen as it would require more resources.

I don't think there has ever been a through West Bromwich - Willenhall service.  Is there much of a demand, would you say?

There's always a demand for anything

@RR378 In all fairness, i actually live within a 2 minute walk of the Willenhall 310 terminus, and i can honestly say that, i have never heard anyone in Willenhall moaning about not having a direct link to West Brom, other than one or two instances, when i can't be bothered to get a 9/333X to Darlaston and a 79 to West Brom
