Bus service improvements in the Warley, Bearwood, Halesowen and Merry Hill areas

A new network of bus services is being introduced in the Warley, Bearwood, Halesowen and Merry Hill areas from 28 March 2010. This network has been designed to make travelling by bus better with less waiting around at bus stops for most of our passengers. The changes see the introduction of better frequencies, new links and faster journey times. Links to key destinations have been improved and travelling by bus will be much easier. Come and meet us at one of our ‘Come and find out more’ sessions or for further information visit one of our Travelcard & Information Centres.Change highlightsMore Buses Stourbridge to Halesowen and Birmingham - every 7/8 minutes on weekdays on the 9.
