The 405, 405E and 405A are three National Express West Midlands bus services in the West Midlands, England. Service 405 and 405A link Walsall with West Bromwich, whilst 405E is a shortened working of the 405 linking the Yew Tree Estate with Walsall. The routes also link Walsall with Bescot Stadium.

[edit] History

Previously only the 405 operated, but in November 2007, due to increased passenger numbers, extra 405E journeys were introduced.

[edit] Present

Buses link Walsall with the Yew Tree Estate every 7/8 Minutes weekdays and Saturday daytime. The 405A is similar to service 405, but misses out Bescot, instead diverting via Fullbrook.
