Buses at this hour on a Sunday are starting to thin out, and the few remaining services are ones we've been on already. We take the twelve minute/0.5 mile walk to Middlesbrough station, where we board the 2324 Northern service 2D33 to Darlington, arriving there at 2352 on Sunday evening.

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
That stop in question (Blue Lane West) was only a 7 minute/0.3 mile walk away from Walsall bus station, in which there were still, at 2320 on a Saturday evening, plenty of onward connections available, but alas you missed that opportunity.
OBSERVATION

But we had already been to Walsall bus station on posting # 42,729 and I did not want to make a return there and did actually chose another bus station in Wolverhampton bus station.

Well this is problematic as Spixworth is pathetically not served after 5pm, so we remain stuck. We return in the morning for the 0640 First Eastern Counties Turquoise Line service 13 to Attleborough (Rosecroft Primary School), arriving there at 0819 on Tuesday morning.
