They withdrew it (319) back in 2010, when the North Walsall Review happened, then nearly anyone you can think of has operated the route since then!
Arriva combined it with their 560 at one point which extended it to Wolverhampton. The last full journey ran the last journey on another Arriva contract, the Wolves 64 (to Penn, Wakeley Hill).

If it was posted on Facebook, it must definitely be true. :huh:

Is it the same person who said 864 was on loan to WB when it wasn't? :laugh:


Anyway please remember that not everybody here is on Facebook, or a member of the various bus-related groups there.

Just went on Stagecoach 41, I used a Swift card which the driver didn't accept. He says it wasn't topped it which it definitely was as I renewed it last week. The driver told me I had to  pay £2.30 even though my card was working perfectly as I just got off the NX 6. Stagecoach really need to do something with Swift card acceptance

Why was the fare £2.30? Are they not doing the £2 fare?

41 is listed as an exempt service on the GOV website.

Oh I remember that now. I thought they removed that "service starting after this date" thing when they extended it in July. I can't see anything saying that on gov.uk at the moment.
