You can't get a bus to Birmingham today, it's impossible. It is really just up the road, our big regional centre but there are no buses. How ridiculous is that? said Philip Adams. Adams, who has lived in Ludlow for many years, remembers the bygone days of the poppy red buses of the Midland Red company toing and froing to Birmingham, until the publicly owned business was broken up in 1981 and sold off under Margaret Thatcher's deregulation and privatisation agenda.
