As a big supporter and user of bus travel in Worcester for nearly 40 years, I've finally given up and won't bother paying First's ridiculous fares anymore. I'm done with bus travel with First Worcester (I may use the LMS 24 now and again if convenient) but that's it. I now need to find a more cost e...

A far cry from when the Citibus 21 to Green Lane ran at 'frequent intervals' (and the 21A to Cornmeadows). Was just having a look through a old 1991 MRW timetable book. Ahh.... Memories!!

It really saddens me to say I have decided to totally give up with bus travel (by FIRST anyway in Worcestershire now. First ticket prices are a rip off considering the area and routes on offer. I will walk to town from now on or use the LMS 24 from Prestwich Ave if one is due when I go out. Luckily ...

If the 37 is completely withdrawn, I would hope someone thinks to re-route the 36 up the Ombersley Rd and then Coombs Rd to at least serve part of Northwick. The 144 has the Droitwich Rd covered fine.

Just wondered, do Worcester garage have a separate 'Ledbury' drivers link for the Herefordshire contracts on the 405, 482, 600...

Sat on 43876 at Ledbury Memorial waiting to depart on the 13:10 675 to Great Malvern on 21st March. Just been for a ride round the 600 Ledbury Town Circular to kill a bit of time before it forms the 675. The usual rattly pointer body but sounded in good nick to be fair.

And there were DD's out on Sunday on the Malvern 44 and Dines Green 30 as well. Nice!!

It was a decker on the short X50 today, I caught it earlier. 32644.
