Bus firm blames WFH for axing century-old service to Birmingham

Dismayed commuters who rely on service linking Bromsgrove and Birmingham say move is premature

A 108-year-old bus service linking Bromsgrove and Birmingham is to be axed because so many people are now working from home, a transport boss has said.

The 144 service, which has run between Worcester, Bromsgrove and Birmingham since 1914, is being cut back at the end of April. The service will now run just between Worcester and Bromsgrove, which is 13 miles outside Birmingham.
