AFTER several weeks intensive advertising of the W Express "revolution" of Worcester bus services, when the big moment finally came, we thought we would do what they asked and "give it a try."

Last Saturday, we duly waited at Lichfield Avenue bus stop for the advertised 19.16 W3 service at 19.35. We finally gave up and called a taxi.

Surely, we thought, that must have been just a one-off teething problem so the next night (Sunday 11) we decided to "give it a try" again and waited at the bus station for the advertised 19.03 W3. We waited and waited - finally, a W3 turned up. The driver then shut the bus up and went home.

About 20 minutes later, another driver turned up and off we went, arriving home at 20.40. Dare we hope that things can only improve?
