AT last the pensioners of Droitwich are to get free bus travel from April, and not before time either.

Most of the big cities, like Birmingham, have always done this, but will there be any extra buses to enable us to take advantage of this offer?

The 22 route is almost non-existent, but thanks to Aston's Coaches we have been able to go to Worcester any day Monday to Saturday for £1.60 return. What a pleasure this has been over the winter months.

It's been like meeting old friends as everybody speaks to each other on this coach. Jim the driver is always very pleasant and helpful when you have a lot of shopping to get on and off the bus with

We plan to go from Droitwich right through to Malvern on the same coach in April, which will be a great day out and free of charge for the transport.
