The quality of WMPTE bus services in Walsall 1981

These passengers had to wait another 5 or so years before relief was at hand to rescue them from low frequency overcrowded buses and long queues.

 

In this instance there was pathetic 30 minute frequency ration-given by WMPTE to travellers between Walsall and New Invention (service 341).

 

This was why deregulation of bus services (26 October 1986) was necessary, at least so far as Walsall was concerned.

 

Park Street, Walsall, September 1981.
