R & B Travel

[mikestone]

The map on traveline showed the stop on a stalk, which I read as meaning it went into the hospital grounds, but now I look closer it shows lots of stops like that. My guess is that having made the service limited stop they decided one of the stops to be missed should be the hospital as passengers for the hospital could then avoid crossing the road by staying on to the bus station and back.

Diamond or Coniston  are the only  other 2 operators in the area  , wonder if some one from Shropshire  might take them on

I assume it will be one of the above, can't see there being a queue for those tenders.

Minsterley perhaps? They've already got both Ludlow town services under their wing and operate to/from Shrewsbury as well.

They might of course be end of tender dates.

Arriva might have tendered for them as they do operate in and around Ludlow and Kidderminster

I highly doubt it as it would involve a large amount of dead mileage to/from Shrewsbury garage and the current 738/740 timetable wouldn't allow for interworking.  The 297 in K'minster interworks off an 8 from Telford at Bridgnorth so no dead mileage is involved there.
