Pensioners protest outside West Bromwich bus station to demand better services
Pensioners protested outside a Black Country bus station to demand improvement to the services they rely on.
Sandwell and West Birmingham Pensioners Convention want better Government funding of public transport and for the West Midlands to follow Manchester's lead in altering the ownership of local buses.
They gathered outside West Bromwich Bus Station yesterday with banners and got bus passengers to sign a petition calling for better services.
National Express West Midlands currently operates the vast majority of services in the region and have angered many customers by reducing bus frequency or scrapping routes like the number 5 in Wolverhampton.
The 5, from Codsall to Wolverhampton, will no longer operate from November 5.
