VFR stands for "Visual Flight Rules" - this is the way that pilots navigate when they aren't using complex instruments - they look at a map and then pinpoint landmarks on the ground to work out their position. To do this in a flight simulator requires scenery that's exactly the same as the real landscape. VFR Real Scenery is an amazing piece of software that provides just that - fly over England and Wales in Flight Simulator X and sample the view you'd get from a real aircraft.

Advantages: More easy access busses are introduced Disadvantages: Punctuality, old busses w. difficult access, ticket prices
As I don't drive I have not got a lot of choice other than the train to use Stagecoach busses to get from A to B.

I would just like to write a review on Stagecoach, whose services I actually used today for the first time in about 4 years! I decided to leave Plymouth for the day, and go up to Exeter for a different experience - or so I thought, but that is actually the subject of another review.
In my own opinion, I personally feel that Stagecoach should actually in fact provide a coach for this service - as opposed to the double decker that I had the misfortune of travelling on in both directions (even though I fell asleep on the way back!). When I last did this trip about 5 years ago, it was on an actual coach - and so, this could be what I am actually basing my thoughts on!
But with that said, I cannot actually complain as to how I was treated though during the course of my journey in either direction - apart from the price! But then ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Stagecoach/Provincial
New fleets for new routes, and the majourity of the older buses repainted if not completely refurbished both inside and out., Lots of new training bus
High fares for all services (although I hope these are only to cover short term losses and will be reconcidered when all services are stable). No chan (*)
