Due to the closure of West Malvern Road on Wednesday 03 April 2024 for 3 days for roadworks, services 675 and 676 will need to divert via Wyche Road in both directions. A shuttle bus service should be provided by Worcestershire County Council although we have not had details sent of this.

Due to the closure of Malvern Road between Hanbury Park Road and Lower Wick island in Worcester, service 44 will be diverted on Tuesday 02 April for 3 days.

PUBLIC REALM FOOTPATH RECONSTRUCTION SCHEME – WORCESTER CITY CENTRE

We also have a closure on Angel Street in Worcester City Centre from Monday 08 April for approximately 14 weeks.

This will mean services coming towards Worcester from Bath Road and London Road will need to divert via Cathedral and Deansway and access Crowngate Bus Station via The Butts. This means City Walls Road will not be served for this period of time.
Services arriving from Lowesmoor will be diverting from St. Nicholas’ Street via Foregate Street, Castle Street and access Crowngate Bus Station via Angel Place.
Services arriving from The Tything will be diverting via Castle Street and access Crowngate Bus Station via Angel Place.
Services arriving from the West of the City are unaffected by this.

We are expecting severe delays in peak periods during this closure to all services affected.
