If there are 2 coaches coming back, hopefully Padmore St will get the late night Worcester - Oxford rail replacement work again.

Good days

Oh... and thanks to Adam H for handing me a Village Links timetable hot off the press in the bus station.

I had a day out on the new network yesterday. Took a ride out to Malvern and back on the X43, then a 52 out to Evesham and back on a X50. Also did a few city routes in between.
