https://www.route-one.net/news/first-guidance-on-home-to-school-transport-from-autumn/ Anyone interested should perhaps take a look at this complicated mess !! I think the timing of the merger of First Midlands and First South Yorkshire could be "disastrous", bearing in mind the workload caused by t...

SIX double-deckers in use on the 44, as I type, - if the bustimes.org tracker is to be believed !!

A further increase in frequencies on some routes, from 6th July.

I am sure that I read that they have furloughed staff and will continue to as long as payments are being made . :? Apparently the whole fleet was put on SORN in March 2020. ...... not to mention the passengers left without means of public transport where these concerns were/are sole provider. Thank...

Has anyone seen any buses operating the services that LMS would normally be operating ?

Seems odd how Astons are still running their 19 and 21 service in Droitwich for instance but LMS aren't running their 20 to Westlands. Not to mention their Worcest...

https://www.firstgroup.com/worcestershire/plan-journey/timetables/?source_id=3 Here are the new timetables from next week.

Mind you, I've been told that a greater proportion of pubs served only s...
