There are it seems at times too many buses between Bromsgrove and Catshill , not sure if they are timetabled as such but I quite often see two different services following each other . . . . . .

I should also have asked if the 144 is carrying sufficient passengers to justify the current 20 minute level of service, if not, perhaps a half-hourly frequency is being considered Monday to Friday from Worcester through to Catshill? All very speculative, but I mention this as the 44 to Malvern used, in common with the 144, to be every 10 minutes not so long ago. Unfortunately Covid and rampant inflation have caused a seismic shift in travelling habits - makes me wonder what the situation will be like this time next year!

My own observations and journeys taken appear to show - to me at least - that passenger numbers are rising in general -albeit rather slowly.

I got it pictures of it on the 144 I love the livery as it stands out to the other first buses in the fleet

69454 is seen working a 37 past my house today 12 July 2022 at 13-50 pm with Worcester City decals and a multi colour stripe; doesn't look half bad, just a shame it won't be running on a 37 after 23 July 2022 when the service is completely withdrawn by First Bus.

I don't really understand First here at all. The bus looks great, but why the 'We Are Worcester' vinyls when all they're really doing is cutting back routes and exchanging new buses for old. Make your mind up!
