The Forthcoming timetables section has now been updated, and it shows that the daytime Mon-Fri 32 has also reverted to a 30 min interval.

Currently on the 11:05 417 from Worcester to Ledbury (30th April).. I'm only passenger on the bus. Talking to a driver, he says that quite normal now for the late morning 417 out and back.

Makes me start to fear the worst for this long standing route too.

Streetlite 13 on it today 47513. Beautiful day for a bus ride out. Will go back via Malvern on the 675 and 44.

Passenger numbers on Stagecoach Service 132 between Gloucester and Ledbury were always low at the Ledbury end of the route, but dropped to practically zero after Covid, hence that route being cut earlier this year. I was in Ledbury at around lunch time last Wednesday and it was like a ghost town. I even managed to park near the Market House without waiting, which would have been impossible a couple of years ago. I think the town as a whole, and thus bus usage, simply hasn't bounced back.
