On that note I've done another 4M since my last comment and it should deffo be a platinum!
Yes I think so but the low bridge where they come from the garage is two low for deckers

From what I've heard, there is a low bridge near the garage which is on the usual route that buses take from there to and from Bradford Place, so any deckers would have to take a different route.

Still, if the 4/4H/4M were to go Platinum at some point, they could always go back to being ran by WB, that or NXWM could introduce some sort of single decker Platinum.

Any views/comments are my own and do not reflect those of my employer.

I do think the addition of WiFi and plug sockets would be good for the 4M, especially for anyone who uses the route end to end, but then again, surely going to Cradley Heath from Merry Hill, changing for either a train or the 51/X51 in Brum would be quicker if you time it right. I doubt many people in Walsall would want to get to Merry Hill though when they can get to the Bullring a lot easier by train or on a variety of Platinum buses already, but I'm no expert, and I'm sure NX and TfWM have people on the books whose job it is to know these things, so I'll trust their judgement.

It doesn't mean that everyone is going from Walsall to Merry Hill.
Just because a route goes from one place to anothther doesn't mean thats the only journey that people make.
Eg just because the 126 goes from Birmingham to Wolverhampton doesn't mean everybody is going from Birmingham to Wolverhampton. There are lots of people on the 126 making smaller more local journey
