The sum will be returned to passengers in Kidderminster in the form of free or reduced-price travel... Well that should help boost passenger numbers and put the competition out of busine...

Does it glow in the dark?

Elgar's last home before he died was on the 35 route, on the site that is now Elgar Court (clue is in the title). Although he would have used Service W5 as it was then!
