MRW renumbered the X92 (back) to 192 after deregulation to emphasise that it stopped everywhere in the West Midlands County and wasn't Limited Stop anymore, in an attempt to get some of the West Midlands local passengers' pennies, but alternate journeys still ran through beyond Ludlow to Hereford for a while so the route number is correct.
I don't think the Ludlow - Hereford leg lasted very long after deregulation, though, being hived off to Hereford depot as the 492 and being withdrawn around the time of the creation of FirstGroup, when the accountants took over from the busmen. I think it's been run by Lugg Valley/Primrose for many years now.
Ross, one of my friends on Flickr told me how it is today:
Now it's hourly Halesowen to Kidderminster with Diamond, then a two hourly 292 Kidderminster to Ludlow with R&B Travel, two hourly 490 Ludlow to Leominster with Lugg Valley Travel, and hourly with the 492 Leominster to Hereford again with LVT.
