Route 300

James — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 14:36:55 +0000

Route 300 was “relaunched” last saturday as PlatinumMK300.

Nothing much else has changed to the route apart from some new Mercedes Buses that are now on the road.

You can find out more about PlatinumMK on either the councils website or ARRIVA’s Minisite

Snow day!

James — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 23:37:25 +0000

Snowy day today/Last Night!!

All buses today were keeping well away from estate roads, and as a result there was very few passengers about. Reports that MK Council has run out/is close to running out of grit has meant that none of the estates have been gritted tonight, So all the roads are frozen solid now Should make it interesting in the morning….
