The HISTORY of REDDITCH New Town
The Buses
As the various residential
and industrial estates were
laid out, a network of bus
routes was established fed
from a central “Transport
Interchange” located
adjacent to the railway
station. These bus routes
included in some areas, “Bus
Only” lanes to keep them
free of private transport
vehicles.

Initial bus services were branded as “Reddibus” and at one stage, 5 M.A.N Bendi Buses
were loaned and trialed within the town on the R8 and R9 circular routes. These trials
were obviously not successful and the Bendi Buses were withdrawn.
