From July 20, Diamond Buses is set to implement a series of changes to services in Dudley, Oldbury, Halesowen and Blackheath.
A new route, the number 12A, will operate from Dudley to Oldbury to an hourly timetable.
This service will operate on a revised route, serving Regent Road, Elm Terrace, Poplar Avenue, City Road and Tower Road.
The number 14 from Dudley to Blackheath and 14A from Dudley to Halesowen via Blackheath will be subject to a new route and timetable change, now serving Darby’s Hill Road, City Road and Portway Hill.
Diamond Buses said passengers who require Regent Road, Elm Terrace and Poplar Avenue should now use the new 12A.
The number 20 from Blackheath to Bearwood will now operate to Blackheath via Oldbury Road, offering “greater links to retail opportunities”, according to Diamond Buses.
In the Warley area, it will also now operate along a section of Pottery Road and Bleakhouse Road.
In Bearwood, the service will now terminate at Rutland Road to improve punctuality.
The number 21 from Oldbury to Bearwood will also be operating on a new route between Bearwood and Cape Hill, now travelling along Willow Avenue, Dorset Road, Sycamore Road and Grange Road in this area.
In Bearwood, service will now terminate at Rutland Road to improve punctuality on this service.
The number 214 from Dudley to the Foxyards Estate will operate to a revised timetable, with some early and late journeys being withdrawn due to “low passenger usage”, according to the operator.
The last service in the area that will be impacted by the changes is the number 215 from Dudley to Blackheath.
This service will now be extended beyond Springfield Road, serving Dudley Road, Hawes Lane, Rowley Village, Birmingham Road, Market Place and Halesowen Street.
However, due to low passenger usage, Warrens Hall Estate will no longer be served.
