The full service was withdrawn on 13 December 2008, although there is still a 'Parliamentary train' – initially, one train per day ran directly from Walsall to Wolverhampton on weekdays, leaving Walsall at 19:36, but this was replaced in the 19 May 2013 timetable by a Saturdays-only train from Wolverhampton to Walsall leaving Wolverhampton at 05:42 (in the December 2019 timetable). Centro still have ambitions to reinstate the service and reopen stations at and Portobello, but its plans have been put on hold until the next West Midlands franchise award is made in 2016-17.
