I will say, credit to your train manager @CrossCountryUK who is keeping us informed of the progress of our journey, plus I managed to find a seat once we had got on, so credit where it’s due.

Hi @CrossCountryUK please can you consider longer trains on your Bournemouth to Birmingham route? The 14:03 from Birmingham to Reading is quite busy, I’m standing in the corridor by the doors!

Lots of work has gone into preparing everything for shuttle buses to the Newbury Show this year, with a new timetable that I created based on driver and customer feedback from the 2024 show. Hope all goes well!
The Newbury Show takes place this weekend! We’ll be running the N10 shuttle bus between Newbury Station, Newbury Wharf, Thatcham and the show to help you get there. For information and times visit: https://t.co/0GlghS2QIJ

#ShowYourStripes A global day to share how our climate is changing. The stripes showcase a powerful visual representation of how temperatures have increased around the world. Our single decker bus is out on UoR open day shuttles, showing the stripes to potential students.

I’ve been in Bournemouth for the past few days. The news of the passing of my former employer’s Managing Director, Andrew Wickham MBE, therefore was quite a shock! I have Andrew to thank for inviting me to join GSC for my university placement year 2019-20. RIP Andrew.

The London Bus Museum held their Spring Gathering bus event today. Vehicle of choice was Leopard 414, still named inside in memory of another colleague. Marketing kindly gave us bags, pens & badges to hand out. A brilliant day out!
