Service W2: Service History

Introduction

Service W2

On Friday 1st June 1928, Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Company Limited (BMMO—Midland “Red” Motor Services) started operation of a network of local area bus services in Worcester City as part of the “Worcester Agreement”, replacing the electric tramway network that ceased operation on the previous day. The new Worcester bus network was the first local area network introduced by BMMO to carry local area prefixes, having route numbers with ‘W’-prefix.
