Our overcrowded little islandIt is not surprising that travel is difficult and expensive in our small and overcrowded little island. We have more than 60 million people moving around and most families have more than one car, public transport is erratic and overcrowded and government taxes on fuel are amoungst the highest anywhere. Here I have included my personal recommendations plus what I consider to be the most useful information and ads. |

This is an excellent service. On one occasion I called from a bus stop in a rural location and they were able to tell me why a bus was delayed and when it was expected. I found it to be a very efficient service with friendly helpful staff. Online or call 0871 200 22 33 |
