No, not the company, a Hereford Times report on Hereford's actual first bus came to light at the latest meeting of Bartonsham History Group and includes a reference to a route from Grandstand Road to the Whale Inn - which was situated on what is now the Vets at the bottom of Old Eign Hill.

The article is dated 1946, and references the first services being from 1896.

Does anyone have any memories or photographs of bus service history in Hereford?
