WYTHALL bus users fear they will be left stranded when a lifeline bus service is axed at the end of May.

Pete's Travel is due to stop its 178 bus service from Redditch to Birmingham.

Worcestershire County Council is now desperately trying to find a solution but a spokesman could not say the service would be replaced for certain.

County council customer services manager for public transport Ken Radbourne said the northern end of Wythall would still be served by Travel West Midlands buses but admitted they were not convenient for many.
