Warm welcome for bus service

A BRAND new bus service taking in Earlswood, Cheswick Green, Monkspath and Solihull town centre got off to a roaring start last week. The S14 service, run by Grosvenor Coaches, is offering residents of Earlswood their first proper bus route for many a year, enabling them to get to all the amenities they need in Cheswick Green and Solihull. In addition, the new route will pass by Solihull Sixth Form College and Alderbrook and Tudor Grange School making it ideal for term time students. “We have put this service in place after feedback from parents, schoolchildren and students who felt that the new S4 service wasn’t meeting their needs,” said Grosvenor director Dave Sterland. “In addition it means that residents in Earlswood now have direct access to Solihull.” However he added that to survive, the service would have to be used. “It’s a commercial route, there is no subsidy and we are doing all this off our own backs - we are trying to meet the needs of residents and different servi

The Wonders Of The Internet!

I love the internet, this week is the first time ever I have relied on the whole of my holiday via our mutual friend the internet. I cannot believe I can get at my blog . I don't know why perhaps it is because it is the first time I have ever taken my laptop away with me. Don't worry I am not that sad I can't leave it behind. There was a rason for brining it with me and that was quite simply to enable me to do electronic bookings, I didn't know if our fiinal destination allowed us the ability to book in on line but did know our first destination had. I still can't believe my blog is so accesible so far away from home. I must be sad typing away, no not really its so hot outside we can't do much comfortably so we wait until later and spend the day reading, splashing around by the sea, drinking and generally chilling out and recharging the batteries+ scribbling on blogs How did we book our holiday? We used the Internet, Primark, Hand luggage and Holiday Rentals
