The service covers Oxford, Warwick and Warwick University, Birmingham International Airport and Resorts World. The last coaches will operate on March 25.

In a statement, an OBC spokesman said: “Despite a number of marketing initiatives and the support of many partners, the service has not carried enough passengers to cover its costs of operation and this has resulted in an unsustainable loss for our business.
