Bus-Related Outings & Reviews

RE: Bus-Related Outings & Reviews
I had a pleasant evening jaunt earlier tonight. I took the 5.30 22 from Parkgate to Heswall and had planned on connecting on the 113 to Thornton Hough, grabbing a pint or two in the Seven Stars, and then returning on the 487. However, when I got to Heswall, I noticed the Johnny Pye has a beer festival this weekend, so I decided to catch the later 113 instead.

Two firsts for me - first time I've been to a beer festival on the site of a former bus depot - first time I've been the first person into a beer festival.

If you're in the area over the weekend give it a try, they kick off at midday each day, 20 ales, live music, ashes on sky, really friendly people, and proceeds in aid of Claire House Children's Hospice.

I sampled Pedigree, Gulper, Mansfield, Boondogle, and Ashes ale - all excellent.

As for the buses, Avon MCV, A2B Enviro200, and Arriva Pulsar. Really friendly and helpful service from the A2B driver. Muppetry from Arriva - see the Birkenhead thread.
