West Midlands Railway axes trains

WEST MIDLANDS RAILWAY is replacing its train services between Worcester and Hereford with buses from today. The operator says passenger numbers are continuing to fall while more WMR staff are self-isolating. The stations which now have no WMR trains until further notice are Hereford, Ledbury, Colwall, Great Malvern and Malvern Link. WMR said the coronavirus emergency meant it was ‘no longer possible’ to maintain train services at all stations on its network.
