Service Changes July 20th 2025

I see the 22 is being extended from Bearwood to Metropolitan Hospital via Sandon Road, City Road, Shenstone Road - is this the first time Shenstone Road has been served by a bus?

No.  It was previously served by the 80 I think among others.

New 23 service Oldbury to brandhall mash up of 13 & 13A route , all very last second.com as usual and TFWM want full control of the buses lol

I don't remember the 80 ever serving Shenstone Road, at least not in my lifetime

Maybe just stick to your Wolverhampton routes 👍

Probably the best idea. I was relying on AI which stated that Shenstone Road had been served by various routes including the 80, 87 and 54

That appears to be an error, according to the route map on the TfWM website, it goes via Rotton Park Road. Last/first stop before/after the hospital is the Shenstone Road stop on City Road.

Frequency for the new 22 leaves alot to the imagination, every 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes?? Or have I read that completely wrong??

No you're not wrong, it is every 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes, the timetable is done this way so that the service only uses 1 bus.

I wonder if it'll interwork with the brand new 23 at Oldbury
