As soon as a chilly snap hits in the UK, travel becomes a nightmare. The trains seem to stop when the slightest dusting of snow falls on the rails and our small, vulnerable cars tend to be ill-equipped to deal with the risks of sliding. Travelling by coach appears as an ideal alternative therefore. If you need to get to London it is not just your arrival in the capital that needs to be thought through but also your mode of transport to the exact location you are expected in once have arrived. Coach hire London provides excellent service where the underground and standard London buses can’t. The drivers of luxury coach hire vehicles keep permanently in touch with travel and weather news services so that they can keep up their high standards in punctuality and reliability. For smaller parties, and when the weather is a little finer, minibus hire can be another excellent alternative to public transport.
Obviously, public transport can serve us brilliantly when it works as it should but just lately, when weather conditions have been bad and renovations have been underway in time for the Olympics, it has often felt like this service is failing us. On weekends in particular we have grown used to several lines at a time being entirely or part closed for planned engineering works. And this makes our travel frustrating, lengthy and complex. Sometimes it puts us off going to the destination we’d had in mind altogether! As though to add insult to injury, the reduced standards of public transport have been costing us dearly. Bus fares, for example, have gone up by fifty per cent since Boris Johnson became mayor in 2008. And for those who prefer to go underground, a weekly zone 1-2 travelcard costs £260 a year more in 2012 than it did in 2008.
It must be clear by now that we need to start thinking of something else. Where practical – when travelling as a group, touring several locations over a determined period of time or going to a sports event where parking will be difficult, for instance – coach hire London can constitute that something else. Coaches are comfortable, spacious and these days air-conditioned or heated according to the outdoor climate. In 2012 they are really a far cry from the coaches you may have travelled in some years back on school trips, especially if you upgrade your travel option to a luxury coach hire service. And if you only require something small and simple minibus hire is there for you too.
