Looks like NX are on a winning streak on tenders. The A12 at AG has been extended. WA are taking the 19 and it looks like WN might have the 50

9 years or so since the 319 was operated by Nx Monday to Saturdays!

When Midland took over the route in 2010, was it tendered at that point?

Makes sense, they already run the 71 Cannock - Wednesfield - New Cross - Wolverhampton.

Back in April 2010 I think there was a swap if Midland take over the 319 they'll come off the 329. The 319 was profitable for a good 5-6 years later. In the last 3 years it has become tendered when arriva decided to pull off. The 19 should be rerouted to serve Goscote hospital as there is no bus serving that strect of road direct to Walsall /Bloxwich anyway.

Theres practically fresh air on that stretch thesedays, based on the 25.

I know when we've gone to Goscote in the past, mother's had a taxi or the sis in law has taken her!
