Changes have been made to the West Midlands on-demand service, meaning it will no longer serve Warwickshire. From 22 December it ceased to serve Wellesbourne Campus, Kenilworth, Leamington Spa or Warwick Parkway Station, which the West Midlands Combined Authority explains is because funding was previously provided through the Future Mobility Zone fund, in partnership with Warwick University. As the funding now comes fully from Transport for West Midlands, the Authority says it has decided to focus on the West Midlands area to ensure the best value for money for taxpayers.

It advised passengers that alternative travel options are available on bus services 11, U1, U2, and X18, and says that Warwick University is working on an alternative service for passengers travelling to Wellesbourne Campus.
