Re: October changes
Plenty to chat about above !! ( -- and cry about ! ).
When one remembers just how much the local population has grown, and the population density has increased, (in any given number of years), it is a political disaster that bus services are still in decline, and towns and cities are "choking to death" !!

Re: October changes
One thing I've spotted that's interesting (to me) is the new WR area route map shows the 417 via Bransford Road, and a 418 via Bromyard Road !
Re: October changes
The example of the 37 is easy to understand because not enough people are using them - the reason- look at peak time services, a reduction in service! No wonder no one wants to use them!

Re: October changes
The detailed timetables are now on First's website (except the 363 / 420).
Re: October changes
Another thing I've spotted is the S23 AM timetable from mid October no longer shows the "Only When Required" extra from Droitwich.
In recent years the AM S23, has usually used 2 single-deckers, - so I hope this means a (extra) Double Decker will be used instead. ( )

Re: October changes
The Staff Manager said today that whilst most of the changes were taking place, there are some that are not "set in stone" and some of the changes might not take place, but that is a big might.
