Travel tips

You will still be able to get to where you need to go, but consider the following:

Please plan ahead. You will be able to go where you need to go but your journey may take longer. 
Please allow extra time. There are bus route diversions in place and traffic may be busier in certain areas of Dudley. Check bus timetables and plan ahead to keep moving. Your journey or connecting stop maybe a further walk away 
Plan in advance. If you are travelling by car, consider using an alternative route to avoid the disruption completely, for real time traffic updates follow @wmroads on X. 
Consider active travel. For shorter journeys, you could walk or cycle to your destination.
