Weekend Reflections: Ring and Ride Bus

This weekend's reflections are in the windows of the Ring and Ride bus which brings us into town and drops us off in Clarendon Place each Saturday.

Ring & Ride provides a door-to-door accessible minibus service for people of all ages who find it difficult to use ordinary public transport. Until recently you could only book journeys the morning before and it often took a long time to get past the "engaged signal". Now you can book journeys up to a week in advance so, although it can still take a while to get through, the pressure to get through is not so great.

Football on Croft Millennium Green

I was walking down Henry Street the other day and was rather surprised to discover that a football pitch had been built on the middle of the Croft Millennium Green.

It wasn't there when I was by it in March.

It seems that a householder on Grosvenor Road has built a set of steps from behind their back garden down the former railway embankment onto the Trans Pennine Trail.

Emirates plane over Foxholes on Christmas Day

I was walking down the Trans Pennine Trail shortly after midday on Christmas Day when this Emirates airline plane bound for Manchester flew over Foxholes.
