WW 50-50A Service Enhancements

Service Changes & Enhancements between Redditch and Birmingham

18 August 2026

West Midlands Worcestershire

There will be some changes to Diamond services along the Birmingham to Redditch corridor from 30th August 2026.

The 150 service from Redditch to Kings Heath will be withdrawn and an enhanced Service 50A Between Redditch and Birmingham will replace this service.

The new 50A service will bring a number of significant benefits to this route including;

The 50A will increase from an ‘AM & PM Peak-Only’ service to running hourly throughout Monday to Saturday daytimes, with AM & PM services on Sundays.

There will be more Monday to Saturday AM & PM peak-time buses operating up to every 10 minutes early mornings and evenings.

The service will now operate directly, which means more direct buses throughout the day between Redditch, Wythall and Birmingham City Centre.

These service enhancements are supported in partnership with Worcestershire County Council.
