Former Midland Red route X91
The X91 was one of the trunk routes of the old Midland Red bus company, which operated in the Midlands and Northern counties of the United Kingdom until 1980. The route was the cross-country service from Hereford to Leicester, a service Taking Five and a half hours from one end to the other.
From July 1967 the Sunday return journey from Hereford was worked by an Eastern Counties coach as a placing journey to enable the vehicles working the company's Norwich-Hereford express service to return back to its depot in Norwich.
The service ran twice a day and connected such centres as Tarrington, Ledbury, British Camp, Great Malvern, Malvern Link, Worcester, Pershore, Evesham, Bidford-on-Avon, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick, Leamington Spa, Kenilworth, Coventry, Bedworth, Nuneaton, Hinckley and Leicester.
In 1980, the service was curtailed to run between Hereford and Stratford-upon-Avon only, with a connecting vehicle on the X67 running through to Leicester from Stratford. With the breakup of Midland Red the service had disappeared by 1981.
