Does that mean the 75 has been extended or curtailed to/from Wednesbury??

[P419 EJW]

It would mean the 75 would be extended to Darlaston from Wednesbury.

[Trident 4609]

In the proposals booklet (avaliable on the NX website), it says it would be extended to replace the 38 (Walsall-Wednesbury) on the Wednesbury-Darlaston section.

[mikestone]

Todays weekly update from Centro confirms the changes are pretty much as proposed, but oddly says the 75 will run via the existing 79 route, but that the 79 has an unspecified amended route - is it reverting to Stafford Road, running straight into Darlaston instead of Woden Road or something completely different?

[Kevin]

You know what, they might as well just extend the 75 that bit beyond Darlaston to Bilston. And to be fair it's not much further from there to Wolves is it, maybe just merge the two routes and call it the 79........

I appreciate your post is sarcastic, but before anyone else jumps on and says why not remember that would half the number of buses between West Bromwich and Wednesbury (soon Darlaston)

Wonder what might happen if NE loose the franchise to run The Metro, maybe the 79 would return to Birmingham. Certainly cheaper than the Metro!!

Off peak I'd certainly spend the extra quid on the Metro compared to bus. £4 daysaver, £5 on metro. Old 79 was 100 minutes one way? Current Metro 40 minutes. So there and back, £1 extra to save 2 hours?


Then again, £5.40 return on the train so which is even quicker so why even consider the bus or Metro
