There should be a bus from bloxwich down the litchfield road through
Wednesfield.  not sure of the number but this is a more direct route. 
The magic words to look for are via Wednesfield or via New Cross
hospital cos this means you are going the most direct route.  

If you choose to bus it to Walsall first the 529 bus should be quicker
than the train.  I don't think there are *that many* trains to wolves
but the bus runs every 10 mins and takes about 1/2 hour, 45 mins? 

please bare in mind that I can't remember going to walsall on the bus
for about 10 years but the 529 is the direct bus and I regualarly sit
next to it in traffic jams at this end ;-)  I have not so fond memories
of going the Walsall college on that bus for 12 months more than 10
years ago.  Of peak it ran like clockwork but peak time it was a bitch.

hope this helps
