Advantages: Buses run, some drivers plesent, local service is OK Disadvantages: Frequently late, some drivers rude, unreliable
...This review covers two aspects of stagecoach service in SouthWales.
Firstly the local service in Merthyr Tydfil. I use this service occasionally for short trips from my house to Merthyr town centre and back using services 80 or 81.
As a rule I find these services to be prompt and quick, although it is a short distance to cover. The drivers are usually plesent and thatnks to a recent upgrade in the buses, the vehicles are usually in good condition and are spacious.
However, the primary reason I use stagecoach is my daily commute to/from work in Cardiff, a distance of around 23 miles each way. The service for this route is the X4 which runs every 15 mins between the two locations between 6:55 and 6:05 each day. Then hourly after that.
Typically for the journey in to work I catch the 6:55 at it's third stop, Hoover Main gate...

Advantages: quicker than walking sometimes, my dad drives ffor another branch of this company Disadvantages: the price, nightbus service
...daddy got a new boss as well as a new uniform and a new coloured bus. This also happened in Africa, New Zealand and the USA. They also branched out into rail travel. As quoted this review will be about Stagecoach Manchester. If it was about Stagecoach in the south west of Scotland it would be a lot more biased as I do not want my inheritance or emergency crisis money cut off thank you very much!!
Stagecoach Manchester
Stagecoach Manchester covers a wide variety of routes in the south and east of Manchester. Stagecoach also owns Magic Bus and Finglands. The difference between Magic Bus and Stagecoach buses are that Magic Bus is much cheaper, looks very different and the buses are older. Apparently they are second hand buses from Kenya if my dad is to believed ( and he is pretty clued up on bus matters!

Advantages: Excellent Castle, in great condition Disadvantages: None
...Keep an eye out for my forthcoming video on this Attraction, come End Nov, Mid Dec 2007!
As you drive through the costal countryside of SouthWales, your breath is taken away by the rolling hills to your right, full of mystical mystery and legends, to your left is the stunning beauty of the Gower Penninsula, spaced by the Bury Estuary.
This is the Land of Dragons and Wizards, this is the home of Merlin, this is Wales.
Passing through sleepy seaside towns, you eventually come to the town of Kidwelly.
As if from nowhere, the imposing gates of Kidwelly Castle stand in view, a testament to their construction, they look as impenetrable as they were 800 years ago.
Kidwelly Castle is owned and maintained by Cadw (the word \"Cadw\", (Pronounced Cad Oooh!) means \"To Keep\" in Welsh.
Cadw is the Welsh Assembly Government...

Even in the great 'Celtic revival' of the past generation, where the cultures of the Celtic fringes of Britain and continental Europe have re-exerted themselves in various political and non-political ways, the Welsh revival has been late in coming, and a more

A synopsis of this film is difficult without giving too much away, so, taken from the DVD description: Laurent Cantet's feature film stars Charlotte Rampling (Ellen) and is set in 1970s Haiti. The film examines a time and place in which... more

Its been a long antagonising wait for the release of season 5 in the UK and as a life long South Park addict, theres a good chance I may be a little biased on this one. After watching this series it is clear that the creators(Matt Stone and Trey Parker)... more
