History

Up until July 19th 2008, two circular services operated, the 372 and the 373. The 372 followed the same route as current service 301 to Bloxwich before following the current route of the 372 between Bloxwich and Walsall. The 373 meanwhile followed the same route as current 372 to Bloxwich before following the route the 301 takes into Walsall.

From this date, the 373 will also no longer be a circular service. Instead, at a half hourly frequency, the service will operate from Walsall to Bloxwich. The route will depart Walsall, then travel through Ryecroft, Harden, Blakenall and Lower Farm, before doing the reverse once arriving in Bloxwich. The service will now take 28 minutes in each direction.
