The Monday - Saturday daytime operation of service 353 is no longer up for tender.
The evening and Sunday operation of service 353 has been revised to operate between Kingston Park, Airport, Dinnington, Dudley and Benton ASDA only instead of Four Lane Ends, and is now numbered 42A.
An additional Sunday morning journey from Benton ASDA has also been added into the timetable, at 10:24.
The evening and Sunday contract has a vehicle requirement of 2x Euro 4 low-floor vehicles with a minimum capacity of 23.
