They need to give Norton Barack more of a service even somthing like an hourly 32B
Yes, almost always pick up and/or set down there. Although overriding seems to be very popular as most of them only ask for St.Peter's or Bath Road when buying a ticket...

I'm very glad you said that Matt !
I was just about to say something similar, but as some of you know, I need to think more before I speak :oops:

The recent expansion in housing round there is surely going to be joined by a LOT more - I've tried, without success, to find a relevant map + details within the South Worcestershire Development Plan.

I hope that First will help ensure that there will be a road suitable for buses between KEMPSEY and NORTON.

Also; can full-length single-deckers turn round at the mini roundabout, just east of Norton Barracks ? -(I failed to check that when there was 32B/ short 382).
Another thing I keep meaning to ask is - do the good people of Kempsey KNOW that they've got a much improved service now (since April) ?

P.S. Matt; a very late THANK YOU for my Chinese takeaway, the "other- day"

Yes, the Service 333 that runs to/from Hanley Castle School is always a single-deck and uses that island to turn round.

Regarding the new routed 36,

I have been speaking to a few friends of mine who work in Northwick and Perdiswell but live in warndon and they are angry they won't be able to get the bus to and from work anymore due to the 36 starting and finishing during non peak hours! If any of management are reading this please put a couple of extra 36s on in the morning and evening just like they are now.
