That is the evening and Sunday service they took over from Arriva isn't it? Interesting

It will now run during the day Monday to Saturday from April 28th, as well as evenings and Sunday, i can't remember if it's being renumbered 8A or if the current 8 is becoming the 8A and this is being renumbered the 8. It's one or the other.

It's cancelled as it's on a new registration containing the 8, 8A & 9 (the latter being the Walsall-Bloxwich end of the current 89)

Is this just a revised timetable for the summer or something  else?

April seems a bit early to be a revised summer timetable.

Well there's quite a few routes included in this so I figured it might be that.

Could be a revised timetable to improve reliability maybe?

Well the ☓20 says revised route and timetable.

Hmm, a poss cutback of Arriva 3 between Cannock & Brownhills maybe?

Or maybe competition?  Arriva's 3 seems to have Solo's on it regularly now, a reduction in capacity. Perhaps another dying route from Cannock garage?

I could imagine Arriva cutting the 3 to Brownhills and no longer continuing to Walsall.

 Wow, a lichfield to Birmingham bus service! Despite the long journey time I think that it will do OK. A lot more people from lichfield travel to Birmingham than to Walsall. But an 80 minute journey time and the terrible traffic between mere Green and Sutton Coldfield will deter some people. No doubt it will be busy when the cross city line has a signal fault / overhead wire problem etc.
