Stagecoach Haverhill - Cambridge

Advantages: Okay but nothing special
Disadvantages: No train station or hospital.

...Haverhill, is a medium sized town in Suffolk. Nestling on both the boundaries of Cambridgeshire and Essex, it is also just around 60 miles from the capital city of the England - London. It's sister town of Bury st Edmunds is just about 16 miles away, while the horse racing capital of Newmarket is a similar distance. The city of Cambridge is around 18 miles away. Essex is also very close; in fact you can walk within minutes to the Essex and Cambridgeshire borders - depending of course where you are in the town. A few miles up the road in a small village is the prison in which Myra Hindley is now staying "Highpoint". There is some lovely countryside around the town, which in itself is worth a visit. The town has around 25,000 occupants (growing), many of whom commute between both Cambridge and London daily. ~~Fabulous New talking... Read review

Sometimes I am lucky enough to get a lift with my housemate Frank but most of the time it is either Shank’s Pony or the No 50 bus kindly provided by Mr. Souter of stagecoach.

Once there was Western Scottish PLC that my dad drove for but it was acquired by Stagecoach and firms such as Dicksonss buses folded and my... Read review

Advantages: Enabling you to move about without a car
Disadvantages: too many to write about on one line

...Stagecoach bus services - buses being the shortened version of the word omnibus - seem to have lost the plot. Years ago we associated stagecoaches with westerns and romantic melodrama. Personally I wish it had stayed that way! Stagecoach originally bought out our local bus company some nine years ago, which I think was called Bayline. I think this was how Stagecoach originally started, buying small and maybe failing local bus companies. After taking over a number of bus companies they have now moved into owning a Rail franchise. The rail franchise is criticised as much as the bus services they provide. Stagecoach buses come in a variety of colours and shapes, single deckers, double deckers and the mini "shopper" versions. If you ever wondered where the old double deckers go when they vanish from the city areas, wonder... Read review
