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.

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.
