Major change for majority of bus services in West Midlands to be completed 'in weeks'

The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) has agreed to acquire the entire bus operations of National Express West Midlands. This major overhaul of the majority of bus services is expected to be completed within weeks. However, warnings indicate that the implementation of the first franchised services, scheduled for October next year, will likely prompt thousands of complaints daily. This transition represents a significant shift in how public transport is managed across the West Midlands region.
