MRW ran the Saturday service on 305

Ah yes, it's shown as an extract on the 303/4 timetable but isn't shown on this list of extracts, which is given as just 22A/293/294.

An interesting observation! :shock: Midland Red West Timetable Update No.1 dated 28th August 1993 says on page 3...

The 303 only ran between Worcester and Ombersley except for a few peak-time journeys in the week. Ombersley also had the 22A during that time. I don...

It had the desired effect, and Stevensons left the West Midlands pretty quickly! It so...
