Hi @TomBradford, is this the earliest departure to Bewdley? We also need clarification of the route number, etc.

Just a reminder that we consider an overnight stop over to finish at 05:00 so should be departing within two hours of the first available service [to anywhere] has departed.

Sorry about that, I was attempting to make it a bit more interesting than essentially heading back in the exact same direction we'd already come from, But I'll note that for future reference.

Completely forgot about the route number, I checked over to see if I had written the times and stops correctly but the number slipped my mind.

As an example, one service that has early buses leaving Stourbridge Interchange from 0552 onwards on a Monday morning is the National Express West Midlands service 7 and I am sure there are others that meet the departing time period of the criteria emboldened above.
