I took a ride over to Kidderminster yesterday, Monday 9th June 2025, on the 303 which departs Crowngate bus station at 07-30, partly to see how it loaded. When I boarded in Grange Avenue six passengers were on board and the service didn't pick up until Hartlebury when one got on. Two alighted by Hoo Industrial Estate and a lady with three small children boarded by the Hoo Road viaduct with one more passenger round the corner in Hoo Road proper. I had expected a busy run into Kidderminster with schoolchildren from Waresley in, but none at all. This is worrying as the useful inbound service from Grange Avenue at 07-10 to Worcester doesn't carry many either. However the 11-30 a.m. 303 from Crowngate to Kidderminster was very well loaded, picking up and dropping off all the way to Grange Avenue.
I travelled over from Kidderminster to Bromsgrove on the 52 service departing at 09-40 with a handful of passengers and it didn't pick up anywhere else until Bromsgrove.
My Enviro 300 on 144 from Bromsgrove to Worcester mid-morning waited time at Bromsgrove and left with a handful of passengers, not picking up again until Droitwich where another wait for time was necessary. It did take a few more passengers en route, but the bulk seemed to be within the Worcester city boundary.
