We next board the 1610 First Worcestershire service 30 to Blackpole (Winchcombe Drive), arriving there at 1629 on Thursday.
That's the 35, not the 30...

Walking around the corner (4 mins) to the Cranham Trading Estate stop we depart on First Worcestershire service S23 at 1635 (relying on bustimes telling us that it runs right through the Easter holidays - our only other alternative is back to town on the 35......).
We alight at Witton, Old Coach Road at 1648 on Thursday.

Yes indeed, used to live on the 35 route in fact, but was looking briefly at the timetable for the 30.

We next board the 1703 First Worcestershire Salt Road service 144 to Charford (Greyhound), arriving there at 1737 on Thursday.
