10A to Lichfield from 22nd of July

Walsall classic bus running day - Saturday 1st September

To celebrate the launch of the new service 10A between Walsall and Lichfield and to commemorate the last day of operation of 300 series route numbers in Walsall (the 301 and 302 become the 31 and 32 from 2nd September), we're holding a heritage vehicle running day in Walsall on Saturday 1st September.

Come and join us between 10:00 and 16:00 for free rides on buses of yesteryear.

Classic buses will be running between Walsall and Lichfield on the 10A and between Walsall and Bloxwich on the 301.

We'll also be operating a variety of modern vehicles in different liveries from across the business on the 10 and 10A, including buses in heritage Walsall and Coventry liveries and our recently repainted Pride bus.

Please note that free rides will only be available on heritage buses. Normal fares will be charged on other journeys on the 10, 10A and 301. Some vehicles in use on the day are kindly being provided by private individuals and the Transport Museum, Wythall, and will not be operated by National Express West Midlands. Travel on these vehicles will be at the discretion of the vehicle owner in each case.

Is there any official publicity out like there was for the end of the first gen low floor buses on the 301 a few years back, or am I ok to copy & share on social media?

You want to know which routes they'll be on? Are you for real?

Did you not read what Tony said? I suggest you go back to the previous page and read Tony's message.

Just had a ride out & back to the Lichfield Food Festival.

Nice to see timetables are on most stops & even a specially designed flag for one stop!

(The first one after the boundary between the A5 & Chasetown!)

Well so far I've had one very late 10A (on a Sunday too!) and a non-existent 10A yesterday (this was the last 10A to go all the way to Lichfield which means having waited an hour I could then only get as far as Burntwood!). Disappointed!

Did you go to Lichfield on Sunday?

Did you happen to notice anything happening there?

As mentioned in a different thread there was a food festival yes but surely that can't make you 20 minutes late.

If there were more people boarding than usual, as well as more cars on the road, that could indeed cause delays.

About the running day, obviously there'd be more departures on the two routes than there are heritage buses, is there any sort of timetable as to which departures will have heritage vehicles running?

Didnt the 301's on the previous occasion run as duplicates?

The 10a's ought to run as duplicates, as that is what Central did on the 35!
