FED UP with bus service Cheltenham to Crypt? Alternative?

Post by Stressed?Moi? »

Both us and some other parents are really not happy with the bus service provided by a private company and are thinking of enquiring about an alternative bus from Cheltenham to Ribston/Crypt and just wondered if others are interested also. An alternative to the usual one currently provided is apparently possible if enough people are interested and would like to change.

We call it far worse in our house!

Apologies for delay in responding but have been away.

Will try to PM you.

Hi milliebob

I pm'd the other two posters and explained that it doesn't look like we have enough to make it work unfortunately, and also it's a bit late for this year (I think forms have to be back to current company by 21st or else we may lose our place - beggars can't be choosers after all!). Looks like we'll have to put up with them for another year. Thanks though.

Thanks. It's such a shame, I'm sure so many people share the same opinion about this. We should maybe look again at this after Christmas and try to get something in place for September 2014. I know that a new service is starting from Tewkesbury so it is possible to get something up and running and I'm sure it would be worth it!

It is a shame and I don't rule it out for the future. I recently contacted the people organising the Tewkesbury route but unfortunately it isn't possible, as they would be going down the A38. I believe they are joining up with another service.

Back to the drawing board but will have to put up with the shambles in the meantime!
