In the late 1940s (exact start date unknown), Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Company Limited (BMMO—Midland “Red” Motor Services) operated Service 382 between Alcester, Dunnington, Harvington and Evesham. Two journeys in each direction ran on Thursdays only, and one journey towards Evesham ran on Saturdays with two journeys towards Alcester. There was no service on any other days of the week.
This service had been withdrawn by mid-1960.

Starting from Monday 4th January 1965, Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Company Limited (BMMO—Midland “Red†Motor Services) introduced a new Service 382 between Worcester, Pershore, Defford, Eckington and Bredon. Four return journeys were operated on weekdays, and three return journeys on Saturdays. There was no service on Sundays. This service was introduced to replace the railway following the stations on the Birmingham and Gloucester line at Bredon, Eckington and Defford all being closed to passengers on the same day.
The route of this Service 382 was similar to that of Service 381 operated before the Second World War. That service did not run via Defford, and was cut back to run only between Pershore and Birlingham during the wartime period. After the end of the war, Service 381 was extended again but in the other direction to link Pershore with Tewkesbury.
Two service was operated from Worcester depot by a two-man crew and although the timetable only allowed only a five or six minute turnaround at Bredon, timings were generous and driver and conductor would often go for a cup of tea in the railway signal box, safe in the knowledge late time could be made up on the return journey.
This service was withdrawn on Saturday 3rd April 1971, along with many rural services throughout the network, and by the late 1970s the only Midland Red services operating between Pershore, Defford and Eckington were Service 262 and Service 371, which ran a limited service using Shortened Ford R192/R1014 Midibuses.
1 The first journey of the day from Worcester to Bredon omitted Pershore and Defford, running direct between Stoulton and Eckington Turn.
