Rail tickets accepted on Birmingham to Wolverhampton bus services until further notice

The move provides an alternative travel option for passengers

Rail passengers travelling between Birmingham and Wolverhampton will be able to use their train tickets on a number of bus services until further notice.

The temporary arrangement, which came into effect on Wednesday, September 23, allows passengers to use valid rail tickets on bus services 126, 4, 4M, 74, 80, 87 and X8.

It comes after services were altered and delayed between New Street and Wolverhampton due to overhead line problems.

In a statement, the bus operator said: "Until further notice, we will be accepting rail tickets on the above services between Birmingham and Wolverhampton."

Passengers are advised to check the latest travel information before setting off, with no date yet announced for when the ticket acceptance arrangement will end.
