One possibility is that he was running late and was trying to get time back. But the most likely option is that he couldn't be bothered.

It happens a lot with THANDI buses specially in the afternoon!

What has this got to do with Sandwell Travel? And as explained by NXWM Spectra the driver was probably late running (Even though they run to their own times!) So terminated at Darlaston (Not daliston!  8))

She appears to be Sandwell's official publicity machine.

Thandi don't go to Bilston on the 334 any more, they were replaced by a school holidays only 333, so its a Centro cock up if the timetable still shows them. Traveline doesn't show either version.

Passed a 333X coming up through Pleck on the 311/3 route.

What time - I have regularly seen one parked on the industrial estate on the site of  the gas works during the lunch break.

Well they only had 1 or 2 passenger every trip going to hospital plus they were not picking up too many passengers from Bradford Place!!!!!!!!!

If any route stops serving the hospital it should be the 39, to regularise the interval to Darlaston with the 33/34.

I think you have your route numbers a little muddled. It is the 38 Walsall - Wednesbury that serves the Manor and the 34 Walsall - Bilston  and 39 Walsall - Wolverhampton that runs direct through Pleck.

Yes - I had just logged on to edit it.
