Major changes planned for Dudley bus services around Russells Hall Hospital
A public consultation on changes to bus services in west Dudley – involving services to Russells Hall Hospital – has been launched.
National Express West Midlands is planning to make the changes, which will also affect some Wolverhampton and Staffordshire routes, from October.
The bus operator is now urging bus users to provide feedback by completing an online survey.
Routes that may change include:
2 & 2A

8
15 & 15A
16
17
27 & 27A
81
82

Other routes in the area are unlikely to change.
Proposed routes
Commercial director Nick Vane said: "We’ve reviewed our bus services across west Dudley and put together a proposal that we feel will deliver an even better service.
“We’re hopeful that most people will either see no change to the bus they catch or an improvement with better reliability and more buses serving key locations such as Russells Hall Hospital. We’re also hoping to introduce some new links and better connectivity as a result of this consultation.”
Information is available on the National Express West Midlands website here www.nxbus.co.uk
Paper copies of the consultation information and survey are also available at Dudley and Wolverhampton travelshops, Russells Hall Hospital, and libraries across Dudley.
The closing date for feedback on the proposed changes is Friday, August 9.
