Unlikely place to find a bus - Tedstone Wafre. I guess running on from Clifton to Bromyard to do the 420 back when the 317 didn't run on Saturdays?

I glad someone finally managed to place this photo as it's been bugging me for ages! Yes, we used to have a turn that ran out-of-service from Clifton to Bromyard to run a short 420 to Worcester, and I remember driving it a number of times. I guess Dennis didn't bother to change the destination display, and that confused me as I assumed it was still in service when the photograph was taken.

I have updated the photograph description with the correct information, thank you. This has also reminded me of the time I decided to try a short cut and ran via Little Tedney and Whitbourne... Big mistake! That lane gets very narrow in places and at times I was wondering if I'd be able to get through, especially over that narrow bridge. Luckily I was in a Mercedes L608D that day, anything bigger like a Vario and I'd still be there now. I didn't try that route again!
