Why does it speak volumes and why is it sheer cheek?

All we have done is register a peak journey in each direction as a positioning journey for the service 64 bus, the AM trip is an hour before Arriva's first X70 from Shrewsbury at 07:45 and the PM trip is 40 minutes after Arriva's last X70 from Oswestry at 17:50.

Somebody who needs to be in Oswestry for 07:30 or 08:00 might be glad that they can catch an earlier bus or a later bus home.

The relationship between The Skiers Lodge and easyGroup is three years old and TSL have been operating easyBus services in France for this time.

As for the name 'easycoach' - slapping it onto the side of a battered Dart is surly one for the trade discriptions act lol

And why would we bring the brand into disrepute?
