I've updated my original post with a link to a centro provided PDF with the full list

I have also managed to obtain, thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, the tender specification for each one up for Grabs

Looking at the specifications, the 205 is the first 2 morning trips and all Sunday trips to Wall Heath (two separate tenders)

Thanks man,

could you provide a link to running times (If possible) as it'll make forward planning easier. I appreciate it.

What happens with the contracts that have not been let?

[the trainbasher]

I expect that they will just not be replaced

Sunday evening journeys on the 81, Wolverhampton to Merry Hill have been withdrawn due to lack of patronage.

I can understand Sunday evening journeys tbh

There was three options for that contract (one was current service level, one was Sunday daytimes only and one was no Sunday evenings)

Sorry @the trainbasher , slightly confused, surely Sunday daytimes onlly and no Sunday evening are the same?

No. The Sunday daytimes only is all the 81 would have been...as in no Monday-Sunday nights

So they've chose the no Sunday evening one? Like I said, can't blame them for not having them.

tbh, am surprised that further tenders haven't included an option for no Sunday evening service, even commercial services struggle then!
