West Midlands commuters may potentially face a future of harder travel as the Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) proposes changes or axes to regular bus services across the region.

While the upcoming changes have left many commuters concerned, the TfWM insisted that most people would see "no or very small changes" and that some areas will experience more frequent buses to "better meet local demand."

However, commuters at Bilston bus station, which is a regular stop for the number 80 Diamond service which is set to be scrapped in January, say they think the upcoming changes are "disgusting".

Alf Homer, 61, a regular bus user, said: "I think the bus services these days are disgusting. They are mostly always late anyway. 

"I don't think they need to cut services. I think it's going to effect the elderly and disabled the most, they will have to travel further to get to the stops and it's just going to cause a lot of hassle."
