West Midlands to get biggest Boxing Day bus service outside London

Shoppers, sports fans and party-goers across the West Midlands can take advantage of the biggest Boxing Day bus service outside of London this year.

A total of 158 routes will be running on 26 December thanks to subsidy from Transport for West Midlands (TfWM), part of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA).

The region’s largest bus operator National Express West Midlands will be running a near-Sunday daytime schedule and Diamond Bus will be laying on 14 key routes.

Cllr Roger Lawrence, the WMCA’s lead member for transport, says: “Before 2002 there were no Boxing Day bus services until we began subsidising them and since then passenger numbers have rocketed.

“That demand means we now have a very comprehensive service so people heading to the Boxing Day sales and other attractions have a real alternative to the car.

With no trains running on Boxing Day, the extensive bus and tram timetable will help shop workers get to and from work and thousands of football fans going to the West Bromwich Albion, Birmingham City and Walsall home matches.
