New Ticket Machines & Revised Fares Posted: 14th June 2010
You'll probably have
noticed our new ticket machines are now fully operational on our local bus
services.
These state-of-the-art machines are part of a £10million partnership between bus
operators and Centro, the West Midlands' Integrated Transport Authority.
If you travel with an
English National Concessionary Bus Pass, you'll now need to change the way you
use your pass.
Instead of showing it to the driver, you need to pop it onto the card reader on
the top of the machine.
You can leave it in your purse or wallet, it'll still read it. You'll see
the light go green and the machine beep when it's done.
It only takes a couple of seconds, but if you're unsure the driver will be happy
to help you!
If you pay cash when
you travel with us you'll continue to pay the driver and take your ticket from
the machine.
Most of our Adult fares in the Coventry area have gone up slightly (though we're
still cheaper than National Express Coventry or Stagecoach).
Fares outside the Coventry area remain unaltered.
For full details ask your driver or give us a call on 024 7645 0808.

Recent Disruption
to Rural Bus Services due to Icy Roads Posted: 15th January
2010
Attention
Parents from Napton, Priors Hardick and Priors
Marston! Please remember that buses generally weigh 10 to
15 tons,
are rear-wheel drive, and are mainly automatic...
This causes problems like this (not one of our
buses fortunately!)
The severe weather seems to have passed (for now
anyway),
and we're pleased all our bus routes have
returned to normal!
Many
thanks to all our passengers for bearing with us
during the recent snowy spell! And a big
pat on the back
to all our drivers for working so hard to keep
the wheels in motion!
Just
in case we wake up to another snow scene,
we'd like to remind you all that you can keep
track of any
emergency school closures by listening to
BBC CWR (94.8 fm)
or Mercia (97.0
fm).
Mercia also keep an up-to-date list of school
closures
here.
You
can also join us on Facebook to hear all our
news
and get some great offers just for our fans.

A-Line supports Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance Posted: 22nd December 2009
from RouteOne Magazine
Staff from A-Line Coaches wrapped up warm last Wednesday night before
setting off into the snow
with members of Pailton & District Young Farmers Club on their annual carol
singing tour,
raising over £300 for the Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance. "It
was a really good night, despite the freezing weather!"
said A-Line's Operations Manager, Toby France. "I've been involved with Young
Farmers for some years now,
so I was really pleased to provide the transport for their charity fundraising
trip free of charge.
And, of course, as a Company we were happy to put our hands in our pockets
and donate some more to the kitty.
The Air Ambulance is such a worthy cause, and its great to be able to support
them."
