Worcester to Alvechurch

[Goatboy]

I'm sure we've covered this before on this line but I'd appreciate some clarification. I might need to travel to Alvechurch from Worcester at some point within the next month.

I was suprised to find a route Not Via Birmingham single for just £4.90. Excellent value.

But it worries me - it requires a change at University - yet a Worcester to University single is considerably more expensive. Almost double the price.

Whats going on here?

Whatever, it continues to highlight how out of step the price from Worcester to Malvern Link is. To Alvechurch is 1 hour 37 minutes or 25 miles by road. To Malvern Link is 12 minutes or 4.8 miles by road. It's the same price...
