There are some changes to our Redditch and Worcester network from 24 April 2011.

You may have seen or heard in the press recently about the cutbacks local authorities are having to make to subsidised bus services in the region.

Some services that we operate under contract to Worcestershire County Council will be affected by these cutbacks.  The changes to these services are shown below and come into affect from Sunday 24 April 2011.

Service 175 and 177 - withdrawn
The current S7 service (operating between Solihull and Shirley) will be extended to Wythall Church via Maypole, Woodrush High School and Wythall Station.
