Ramsbury Flyer NewsThe Ramsbury Community Bus NewsFor the latest news and details of excursions, please see the new Flyer page at www.ramsbury.orgExcursionsIf you or your friends and neighbours have ideas or views about where the bus should go, do make a note of them and let us know. Please contact either Peter Raper (521092) or Brian Keen (01488 682276). Regular ServicesThe Flyer provides a regular service to Hungerford on Wednesday and Friday mornings, leaving Ramsbury School at 10:10 am and returning from Hungerford at noon. Timetables are available in the village, or email ramsbury.flyer@ramsbury.com
To book a place on a day trip, just pick up the telephone and call Muriel Lye on 520555 - it really is that simple! There are no forms to fill in and no money to pay until you get on the bus! There are fourteen seats in the Flyer so early booking can be important. If the trip is fully booked, your name will go on a waiting list. So if you do have to cancel your booking, PLEASE tell Muriel so that someone else can be given your seat. To reserve the whole Flyer for an outing for a village organisation, or for a private group on a special occasion, you must first check with Muriel whether the bus is available and give her details of your planned journey and timings. You should try to find your own driver for the trip. If a member of your group is prepared to drive, give his or her name to Muriel. She will then check if your driver has had a "familiarisation drive" with the Co-ordinator of Drivers, Janet Webster. If not, this can be arranged before your journey. Under exceptional circumstances, we will try to find a driver to take your party but you should bear in mind that all our drivers are volunteers and we are not a cheap taxi service. To complete the booking, you complete a simple form and pay a £10 booking fee. This is non-returnable. Mileage is charged at 30p per mile. The bus key will be given to you on the day, plus a tank full of diesel. You pick up the bus from the Crown & Anchor car park and return it there after your journey. On return, record the mileage from the odometer, calculate the charges due - instructions for this are on the booking form - and take the balance with the form and key back to the Co-ordinator of Drivers.
