A 'beacons bus'(sic) brochure (looks 'clunky' in the am (light type)/pm (bold type presumably but rather confusing to most people who, after decades, now comprehend the 24 hour clock!) format ... sorry!) was in the racks and that was about all.<br />The Stagecoach driver on the X4 north to Hereford was busy giving comprehensive timetable advice from his own collection to potential passengers! He wasn't surprised no information was available at the TIC but, 'good on him' for his, by observation, much-welcomed advice.Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-54836254125903020842013-09-02T21:28:06.113+01:002013-09-02T21:28:06.113+01:00Well done on 1000 posts - that's no mean feat!...Well done on 1000 posts - that's no mean feat!<br /><br />Carry on with entertaining us all, and the more posts about my home town (Northampton) the better :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-46672848319143171822013-09-02T21:08:51.311+01:002013-09-02T21:08:51.311+01:00Congratulations - 1000 and still enjoying it to!Congratulations - 1000 and still enjoying it to!didbygrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01858408719372985035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-30090148042291149342013-09-02T19:16:02.490+01:002013-09-02T19:16:02.490+01:00Congratulations, and thanks - always a good read!Congratulations, and thanks - always a good read!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01965936499218384410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-70831877812185473182013-09-02T12:38:36.620+01:002013-09-02T12:38:36.620+01:00Well done. I always enjoy reading the blogs.
Look...Well done. I always enjoy reading the blogs.<br /><br />Looking forward to the one about Brecon which we have just returned from following a weeks holiday on the Brec & Mon canal. This was a 'return visit' after a gap of some years. Brecon TIC had no timetables or maps on display but was able when asked to hand out photocopies of what they said were a complete set of bus timetables. These were for the main daily routes but did not include the Brecon town routes (Stagecoach) or irregular services. They indicated that they had not been able to get hold of the full Powys timetable books for some time. Nor did they have any county maps. When asked they produced a Beacons Bus booklet (this expires on 22 September) and managed to find a couple of copies of a Brecon and Brecon Beacons National Park Travel Guide 2013.This is a small fold out leaflet which includes summary Monday to Saturday timetables of nine main bus services and a diagrammatic map of these routes. This has panels with summarised information about train, bike, lift, taxi and Beacons Bus (referred to a website or phone number for timetables).<br /><br />We also managed to get into Abergavenny at the end of the week. The TIC indicated that whilst they could normally hand out a Monmouth timetable book the new edition which had been due in July had been delayed due to changes to two bus services. If I wished I could look at reference photocopies. All they could hand out was the Beacons Bus booklet. <br /><br />A little disappointed but understand some of the constraints.<br /><br />What did amaze me was the complete lack of any Stagecoach publicity!!! <br /><br />Clive Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02059026405966912480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-18205228336272235032013-09-02T11:14:47.181+01:002013-09-02T11:14:47.181+01:00Well done - entertaining and informative - keep up...Well done - entertaining and informative - keep up the good workd!Christine Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13931967995597136807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-59205965631502938062013-09-02T09:16:59.046+01:002013-09-02T09:16:59.046+01:00The occasional typo proves that fbb is a real huma...The occasional typo proves that fbb is a real human too.
