Surely it should be called 30 years since the end of WMPTE? Or maybe 30 years of Travel West Midlands?

Either way, nice photos!

The Eckington to Pershore section of the route certainly carries more passengers and sometimes they continue to Worcester, although I have heard it said many times that they feel it takes too long. This is part of the reason the short journey linked to the 551 was added as it cuts the journey time d...
