Shake-up of Wolverhampton's bus services

Bus services in Wolverhampton will be shaken up later this month, with new routes and extra stops.

Travel West Midlands said today passengers will see the changes from January 29, with several routes running through the busiest areas of the city affected.

A direct service from Wolverhampton to Codsall will be brought in. The new 5a will run half-hourly Monday to Saturday.

Some services will also see running times increased to improve reliability for passengers. They include the number one Dudley to Tettenhall Wood and the 26 Wolverhampton to Bilston via Goldthorn Park.

A number of buses are being re-routed to stop at the city centre's new £22.5 million bus station. The number two Warstones to Bushbury, number six Wolverhampton to Whitmore Reans and 6a Wolverhampton to Pendeford Business Park will be making the extra stops. Changes to the timetable of the 62 and 62a will also be made.
