Are there any other local news or sources on this?

Very interesting. Local councillors have been talking about it intermittently for years. Because it's so rural there's virtually nothing obstructing the trackbed, other than the semi-derelict light railway at Bromyard. Land ownership would be the challenge, I guess.

Can a moderator compensate for the shortcomings of my fingers in the subject line?

I have flushed through the subject line on all posts in the thread - Worceset to Worcester. 

I also searched for further news sources on this and drew a blank - not a surprise, as I'm sure you and others have  searched too.    Tends to suggest an early phase idea (or fake news  ;D ) to me.

That august organ the Malvern Gazette had a piece on it recently - well, recently in the geological sense:

https://www.malverngazette.co.uk/news/malvern/8237695.town-could-be-at-heart-of-cycle-route/

But there's nothing in the Herefordshire Local Transport Plan (https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/download/downloads/id/2912/local_transport_plan_2016-2031_strategy.pdf) to suggest any plans to improve the lot of those who might wish to cycle along the A44, as far as I can see.

Until then there's a much better route along the B road to Clifton on Teme then through lanes to Kimbolton. It's in my Garmin somewhere... Longer, but nicer than the A44.
