I am somewhat ill-at-ease about the discontinuation of the 363 Twyning section.
Currently there are 4 Mon-Fri journeys per day in each direction (IE: Worcester and Tewkesbury), but these are to end, - apparently with no partial replacements by any operator.
Walking to or from the main road to catch the 363 (from next week) appears to be an option, (only-just), for able-bodied males wearing high-viz vests.
I took a look at the village today and there appears to be quite a lot of housing and more being built.
I couldn't see any bus-stop signs near the big village green, but there was a parish council notice board outside the shop, that had a bus timetable on display -
I THINK it was the old/current one - but I hadn't got my reading glasses with me !
BUT there was no notice to warn of the imminent loss of buses.
On the promising looking Gloucestershire C.Council website, I could find no news or relevant info. about it, and also none on a rather pretentious looking Twyning website.
Presumably the local residents know about it by some other means,
and some MAY have clicked-on First's Worcestershire website -" Worcester network changes".
I am not critising First, in any of the above, but I am depressed by how lowly and unimportant bus services seem to have become in some places !
I believe that both our Mr. Adam.H, and our Mr. Red Midland, have driven this service -
could either of you two gentlemen tell me please -
- Did you ever pick-up or set-down ANY passengers in Twyning -
- EVER ??
