303 between Kidderminster and Worcester suspended altogether from Friday 27 March 2020 with heavy cuts to most Diamond services elsewhere in Worcestershire from Monday 30 March 2020 ... I saw Simon Dunn reply to a post about this on Facebook on Friday saying that not one person used the 303 the pre...
