Service 357: Service History

Service 357 (1928–1971)

Operated by Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Company Limited

On Saturday 11th February 1928, Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Company Limited (BMMO—Midland “Red” Motor Services) renumbered their entire network and at this time the Worcester to Croome service was renumbered to Service 357. By the end of 1930, the service ran on Wednesdays and Saturdays only between Worcester, Kempsey and Croome.

The timetable remained virtually unchanged throughout the history of the service, with two return journeys on a Wednesday and five return journeys on a Saturday, however, the service was suspended during the Second World War.

Service 357 was reinstated by January 1946, although the Saturday service initially only had four return journeys, with the evening journey not running. Other times were the same as the pre-war timetable, and the evening return journey on Saturdays was reinstated in c. 1949.

In the early 1970s, Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Company Limited (BMMO—Midland “Red” Motor Services) withdrew a lot of rural services, and Service 357 was withdrawn on Saturday 3rd April 1971.
