From Sunday 2nd September, bus services around Dudley and Sandwell are changing following an extensive public consultation.

This will include both minor changes like timetable improvements and additional services running at peak times. There are also some bigger changes to cater for new and emerging travel needs, to help us overcome increasing traffic congestion and slower traffic speeds around busier areas.

These include new express services, renumbering of existing services and changes to routes meaning Platinum buses are able to serve more areas, including Blackheath, Oldbury and Smethwick.

The alterations are available to view on the National Express website and on printed literature which is available from local travel shops in Dudley, West Bromwich, Wolverhampton, Walsall and Birmingham.

If you are using a desktop or laptop, you can find information about the changes along with new maps and timetables on the left hand side of the page. If you are using a mobile or tablet you need to tap on the menu button in the 'Dudley & Sandwell Service Changes' menu box.
