Thats true but there could be a way of plugging that 2 and abit hour gap in service and the route may then possibly appeal to a wider area of the population

They could possibly fill that 3hr gap with 900E to the Airport,

In case people weren't aware, NX Dundee have recently started night bus services, so perhaps if that is a success they may have a go in the West Midlands again?

The best route to trial a Night Bus would in my eyes would be
Walsall
Stourbridge
Sutton Coldfeild

Best Route to Trial a 24hr Service would be
900 as it is close enough to 24HR

Most major cities have a night bus network why dont we, and why not just trial a flat fare £1.50. When i go to London Leeds Liverpool Manchester its suprising at how many people i see on them, and then you come home to Birmingham and all buses have left at Midnight.

I'm sure a nighttime 3 (following 503 route, not 503A+W as now) would go down well with the night shift workers on the Stafford Road corridor (and later i54). There are a lot of overnight workers at Freshway, Goodrich, and the other places. That's a <15 minute route. I wouldn't take it down Waterloo Road or around Wobaston though at that time of night (though Asda is 24 hours).
