I've seen a copy of the new running card and this change is now in effect. Yes, the driver gets a break in the car park at Upton, but the worry is that if they don't get a full 30-minutes they will be over their driving hours by the time they finish that part of the duty. The length of the break is 33-minutes so normally it shouldn't be a problem, but at the moment there are the mother of all roadworks between Ryall and the bridge, so I can foresee problems.DD12 wrote: ↑19:58 Saturday 22nd September 2018I was very surprised today, to see on the First website, a further change to the 363 from September 30th !!
If my reading is correct, the (mon-fri) 10.55 from Upton to Worcester is replaced by one at 11.30.
However, it appears to be the 363 that still arrives at Ryall at 10.50, same as now, but it will then go as a 363 as far as Panes Garage "only".
It looks POSSIBLE to me that it will allow the driver a half-hour break on the Hanley Road car and lorry park before doing the 11.30.
IF my "guess" is right, - has this ever been done before at Upton ? ( - Adam ?) ??

Thanks Adam, - this is exactly the sort of insight and interesting info / commentary, that you've been giving us on here for several years now, and we will really miss it - ( - I'm hoping you've changed your mind about leaving )AdamH wrote: ↑20:58 Monday 1st October 2018I've seen a copy of the new running card and this change is now in effect.

As for Upton, I could not believe the volume of traffic, the other morning, from the Hanleys and the Malverns, heading for Upton Bridge and the road-works !
Re: Autumn 2018 service changes/cuts
I avoid Upton totally at the moment, unless its before 6.30am. I'd normally come home from work that way and use several of the shops, but no fear at the moment!
