On 7th May 1983, Midland Red (West) Limited introduced a limited stop “Midland Express” service between Birmingham, Kidderminster and Aberystwyth, operating on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays during the summer months only.
This service had been withdrawn by the end of 1986.
Although this service carried the historic route number X91, it had nothing in common with the original Leicester to Hereford service X91 operated by BMMO from 1929 to 1981. See the “Service X91 (Leicester–Hereford): Service Overview” page for more details of this service.
