Worcestershire County Council has just launched an exciting new initiative, making it easier than ever to reach Attwell Farm Park by bus. The expansion of the Worcestershire On-Demand service means more convenience for everyone.
Worcestershire on Demand offers an alternative transport option to fixed route public transport services. It helps people make essential local journeys within a defined area, and offers residents and visitors transport within a zoned area and to specific places of interest outside of the zone.
Worcestershire on Demand allows passengers to book on to the service from an app. Passengers can request transport for a specific time or to arrive at their destination at a specific time and this will give a selection of boarding times available. Transport will collect the passenger from a designated pick-up point and will drop off at the required location. Unlike fixed route bus services, the service is flexible depending on the destinations and collection points.
The map below shows Worcestershire on Demand Bromsgrove Zone, including places of interest within and external to the zone.
How does it work?
Passengers will need to download the app via Google Play or the Apple App store. Once registered, passengers can book journeys via the app to other locations within the zone and Places of Interest outside the zone. A branded vehicle picks you up at your request, changing its route as needed so that all passengers who are travelling on the vehicle can get to where they need to go.
When do services operate?
Services operate Monday to Saturday, 7:00am to 7:00pm. Services do not operate on Sundays or bank holidays.
Where does the service operate?
Worcestershire County Council has successfully launched ‘Worcestershire on Demand’ in Bromsgrove and is currently piloting a scheme in the district of Malvern Hills. Following the success of these areas, further locations across the county will be piloted to allow the Council to understand better how this type of service could benefit the region.
Due to the success in Bromsgrove, the service will expand on the 12 August to cover North Worcestershire.
How much does it cost?
Journeys can be booked up to 5 days in advance.
- Each journey costs £2.50

How do the 'zones' work?
Journeys can be booked from within the highlighted zone to another destination within that zone. Journeys can also be made to designated places of interest outside of the zone – such as retail parks, hospitals, country parks and train stations. At least one of the journeys needs to be starting or ending within the zone. Journeys can’t be made to ‘Places of Interest’ from outside of the zone.
How far in advance should I book?
Prebooked journeys can be made up to 5 days in advance. Services can get very busy so it’s always advisable to book ahead. Services can also be booked for the same day or to travel ‘now’.
What if there is no availability?
This means there are no journeys available for the time selected. Try altering the timeframe as this will show available booking options. [Info needed and the reason why no availability showing – bus on a route that doesn’t allow for the stop in the given timeframe?.
Where are the pick-up and drop-off points?
When you add your postcode, the app will give you the nearest stop and you will be collected from an agreed location near to the address. You will be dropped off at the location you choose as your destination. This will always aim to be the closest suitable stop to your location or destination. The service is not door-to-door so there will usually be a short walk either at end of the journey.
Will the service pick me up from my house?
No, the service is not a door-to-door service, but will collect you from an agreed location near to your home address. The pick-up location can change up until the journey is finalised. The journey is finalised one hour before the planned pick-up time, when the pick-up location is locked and the communicated pick-up window reduces from a 30-minute window to a 6-minute window, to give you a more accurate time to be at your journey’s start location.
Where do I wait, what is the exact location?
The location of where to meet the bus will be confirmed via the booking app. You will get regular updates though text messages to tell you when your vehicle is near and give the details of the registration number.

Can I take my bike?
No, bikes are not permitted on the vehicle due to the space available.
Are the buses accessible?

Are child seats available on board?
Our service operate with a variety of vehicles. We do not provide child seats on board, as every child is different it would be impossible to meet every individual requirement. Parents and carers are welcome to bring their own child seats if they wish, but please note that responsibility for fitting these rests with the parent or carer. Our drivers cannot assist with fixing child seats into the vehicle. We are unable to guarantee that the vehicles we operate will have seats suitable for a child seat to be fitted.
Please note that there is no legal requirement for a child to use a car seat when travelling on a minibus, however, children aged three or older must use an adult seat belt if travelling without one.
