I can confirm that for a short period in 1986, around 6 weeks, the 2232 from Worcester to Longbridge was extended to Birmingham, arrival 0000, and then returned to Worcester empty. I did it once, with a coach, and ran as far as Selly Oak but turned round there as I was empty (wouldn't get away with ...

Re: FMR Service Changes September 2016

From what I can gather, the 36 is remaining on a 30 minute frequency, but one an hour will continue through to the hospital, the other going on as a 33 as at present.
