WMPTE: May 1981
This is the first edition of a comprehensive North Division timetable book which gives good value when compared with the four separate area timetables booklets. In addition if you require details of just one or two individual services, leaflets are available free of charge from Travelcard and Enquiry offices. The reason for the change is to help you see at a glance the whole service network available to you in the Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton Boroughs together with certain adjoining areas.

Towards the end of 1980 major revisions were made to many services throughout the Executive and whilst in general terms these were economy measures there was a number of improvements contained within the overall scheme, including the provision of a new Service 131 between Hasbury and Birmingham. Service 231 replaced withdrawn 258 but was then extended to Wallheath via 232 route.

During this period the change to One-Man Operation was completed within the North Division.

Passengers are advised that the timetables shown for Services 554, 555 and 556 have not yet been introduced and until their introduction existing timetables for Services 254, 255, 256 and 956 will continue in operation. A separate leaflet containing details is available.
