Re: Autumn 2018 service changes/cuts
Tomorrow's the day. Plenty of publicity on Upton, but rather a lack of reaction on the Fifties. Perhaps it may come after the event. Anyway, there have been slight changes to the 564/565 service for Eckington, Birlingham, Wyre and Lower Moor. http://btckstorage.blob.core.windows.net/site15604/Sep%20...

Re: Lunchtime at Evesham Saturday 8 September 2018
Saturday is comparatively a poor day on the X18. A year or two ago Stagecoach dropped some late afternoon Saturday journeys. The service has a commercial Sunday service (though no evening service) but overall it would indicate that it's ok. I think the X18 is quite a service, mostly half-hourly Eves...

Re: Autumn 2018 service changes/cuts
The 363 timetable is better than I expected. It has been suggested that it is on a trial six months. I agree with DD12'S previous suggestion that the 363 ought to be linked to the 32 service to Baynhall. Longer term that may be the way to serve Upton, Welland and Hanley. Adam pointed out that histor...

Re: Bewdley Bus Gala 2 September 2018 pt. one
Records show that 5077 didn't follow for another 3 months, but it was 55-years ago and he is soon to have his 90th Birthday so I will forgive that slight mistake. Bit off topic, but there is a picture of 5077 squeezing through the Priory Gatehouse at Malvern doing an M18 to Poolbrook in the book Ma...

Re: Stratford - Birmingham ending (almost)
Thanks for the reply, JustinTyme. I'm from the BMMO era myself so I tend to forget the immense changes such as the rise of Solihull as a destination compared to the city centre. The Midland Red 150 to Stratford was basically only hourly, so I think that Johnsons have done well to keep the X20 going ...

Re: Stratford - Birmingham ending (almost)
It is sad to see another Red route go (almost). The train service to Stratford has improved over the years, but if you're actually close to the bus route, it must be a reasonable choice. Hockley Heath will be the most inconvenienced. Johnsons is a very decent company and I would have liked to see th...

Re: Kidderminster Depot
Thanks, Ridercross, for that. Diamond is never dull. I looked at Diamond's website, and on the 2 to Bewdley there is that change from 2/9/18, which also splits the service into the 2 and 2A https://www.diamondbuses.com/media/1711/2-service-changes-020918.pdf It says that if the changes do not improv...

Re: Public Enquiry
DD12 I have actually appeared before the Traffic Commissioner when years ago I worked for a large group of motor dealers. We had a Standard National licence simply to transport our cars between branches without the cars incurring mileage -if you just transported your own goods, you didn't even need ...

Re: Autumn 2018 service changes/cuts
Just a reminder, this was the level of service in the area when I started bus driving in 1994... Click here . Things are still better than the good old days! That's a fair point. Of course about that time the main route to Upton was via Kempsey, an hourly service, going on to Tewkesbury and Glouces...
