I travelled to Worcester and back today , both journeys 'off peak' ,my thoughts are if there are the same amount of passengers travelling now as when there were 3 buses an hour on the 144 then the 2 buses an hour are going to be full to capacity a lot of the time. Travelling south - well after the ...

A few days back, I noticed one of the E300's had an alternating front display showing Worcester then 'bus on divert' , the bus was heading towards Catshill at the time !?!

Not "Midland Red" news but I see on the West Midlands Bus Forum that in June there will be an X20 service between Birmingham and Bromsgrove. ;)
The timetable for this service is now on the Transport for West Midlands website.


And now in the timetable display in the bus shelter at stand 1 ...

-- Interesting that First did not send 44607 in the "wonderful" new livery !!

If Bustimes is correct ,44607 has been off the road for a few days .

Thanks for posting the pictures of 44607 in the new First livery. The rear views look very much like the older blue livery used by Diamond. Does anyone know if any other Worcester bus [ maybe 44613 ? ] has 'gone North' for repainting ??

44607 is reported to be awaiting collection.

A Lakeside of Ellesmere Neoplan - OY23CYE observed on GB Tours this afternoon. Also sighted disappearing up the A448 Kidderminster Road around the same time was a Mercs minibus in the livery of Rabbies Trail Burners.

33860 seen out of service in Bromsgrove bus station this morning and 67432 left in a layby in Wychbold this afternoon. Not ideal especially as we are down to only two 144's an hour now.
