[edit] Centro/ NXWM Partnership

Since the November 2007 the 377 was brought into a partnership of just six bus routes in the West Midlands, which sees passenger receive a refund if their bus is more than 15 minutes late. As part of this agreement the low floor Volvo B10Ls which used to operate on the 301 service were refurbished and branded for the 377. As the service runs every 12 minutes it is highly unlikely anyone will ever be refunded.

[edit] 377A and 379

The 377A is a bus route which operates between Walsall and Streetly. There is only one afternoon journey in this direction only on weekdays. Also only on weekdays is the 379, between Walsall and Sutton Coldfield via Streetly, which operates Walsall bound in the morning and Sutton Coldfield bound in the afternoon.

[edit] History

The 377 used to run to a twenty minute frequency using originally MCW Metrobus then a mixture of the Metrobus and Leyland Lynx.
