Bromsgrove On Demand Bus Service Expands
13 August 2024
Getting around Wythall, Alvechurch, Stoke Prior and Bromsgrove is now easier with the expansion of Worcestershire County Council’s innovative on demand bus service – Worcestershire on Demand.
The expanded service, which has already been a great success in other parts of Bromsgrove, will see on demand buses drop off at locations that previously haven’t been regularly served by other forms of public transport.
Residents will have the opportunity to travel to and from rural destinations and business which, in turn, will support the local, rural economy. These destinations include Beckett’s Farm, The Transport Museum, Attwell Farm Park, Lickey Hills Country Park and many more. The service will also be available to and from the Princess of Wales Community Hospital.
Worcestershire on Demand has racked up over 65,000 completed trips in the Bromsgrove area since the Council launched the service three years ago.
Diamond is proud to have been working with Worcestershire County Council since 2021 on delivering their on Demand service, bringing more flexible public transport solutions to people living within Bromsgrove and surrounding villages. We are extremely pleased to have been awarded additional contracts to extend On Demand services to Stoke Prior, Alvechurch & Wythall. We have invested in two additional brand new Euro6 minibuses for these routes which look great and will help to promote the On Demand services more widely in the area.
Booking a journey is done through an easy-to-use App and passengers will be charged a flat fare of £2.50 a journey, with new riders getting their first journey free of charge, additional passengers paying £1.25, and concessionary cards accepted after 9:30am.
