Further details have now come to light on the new and ‘improved’ bus services as part of the North Walsall bus review
Basically the 997 has not changed and runs 3 times a day
A new service 997A also runs from Birmingahm to Kingstanding via Doe Bank (the old 934 route)
It appears the 934 will no longer run via Doebank but can not find a confirmation of that
