Some changes of interest (to me, at least !!)

It will be interesting to see if some of the school time journeys run with the new S suffix programmed into the destination and number displays !! ( - 333S etc).

( -- Could YOU help them do that Adam ?? )

-- I see that most of the school-time journeys previously operated by First will return -- as "closed" services -- the only exception I can see, are those that were part of the 363 to and from Hanley Castle School.

Is that an accidental omission from the timetables, perhaps (?) or perhaps they will become part of a new contract ??

Also, it looks likely that First's 52, 53, and 332, and the Tewkesbury section of the 363, - are gone forever !!

Am I dreaming? Does that say 144 every 10 minutes between Bromsgrove and Worcester?

Yes, that seems amazing now !! -- I hope it pays-off !!

Thanks for flagging that up Michael !!

(I have assumed / guessed, for a long time, that ( - pre-pandemic) , the Droitwich / Worcester section was the money spinner, deserving a reliable 10 minute frequency, - and that the Droitwich / Bromsgrove section was lightly loaded ??

Can anyone tell me if I am wrong ( - or very wrong), please ??

It's now confirmed that the "missing" school time journeys of the 363 will again be run by First, -- strangely though, confirmed as a closed schools service, but described (so far) as "363" rather than 363S.

I noticed they mentioned a service 2S in Malvern and Worcester operated by First but can't find anything on First's website about said service, anyone any ideas which service this is?

In Malvern it is LMS's 42S and in Worcester it is First's 32S. There are a number of missing initial numbers in that list including First's 51 in Pershore.

Damn ! - I guess you're right Mr.Noggin !!
