Route 530 poses at its Rocket Pool terminus on Rocket Pool Drive in July 2007 - the route links Wolverhampton and Rocket Pool via Rough Hills, Ettingshall Cross and Bilston, although Travel West Midlands have since withdrawn their service to leave Banga as the route's main operator. Rog and I had visited Rocket Pool as part of a Black Country pub crawl, and we were about to sample the delights of the Rocket Pools pub where we would meet Santa.
