Is it needed. We are looking into starting bus services from Horsham to Southwater, at cheaper prices than what arriva charge. Large description can not be realised yet, but what does everyone think? Yes or no?

Hi Josh
 
Thank you for registering and welcome to the forums.
 
For me the biggest problem with the Arriva 98 is the lack of a Sunday service. It runs from Horsham to Roffey (and return) but for some reason does not run Horsham to Southwater (or return).
 
ps I have made you website link 'clickable' and, just to let you know, I am having a few problems with the JavaScript menu on both IE7 and Firefox 2.0

Thanks for your reply. Our bus company(If we choose this sector) will operate 7 days a week between;

0700-2130 Mon-Thurs

0700-2300 Fri and Sat

0830-1900 Sun

The route would be similar to the route of the 98. Although, it will not go to Foxfeild cottages, instead these customers would have to go to Shipley Corner. Also, (Not quite sure what road it is) the road just prior to the Old Well were the 98 goes, will be missed. Again these customers will have to go to the Bus stop at the Old Well. We are looking at several ways to attract customers to us also. We would like to either get a card system in place. Were you buy buy points through your bank account. etc but this is only an idea on a table of thousands now.

With regards to my website, what problems are you experiancing?

Thanks for that. It might be worth posting something along these lines in the Southwater section too.

I see what you mean, the javascript hasnt picked up the central alignment for some reason. So thats the reason behind it.

Interesting thought. I use the Arriva 98 service and occassionally the Metrobus 23 (when the Arriva is late!).

The difference between the two services is quite amazing. The Metrobuses are much more comfortable. cleaner and the prices are cheaper. However, their timetable means I can't use for my return journey.

The main gripe with both services - the sometimes apalling driving (are buses exempt from speed limits!!!) and, as often with customer serving companies - the lack of pleasantries - a 'good morning' costs nothing. Also, the buses only run hourly after 7pm weekdays.

So, a third service? If you think you could do better than the above with time tables, customer services, condition of rolling stock and decent driving, I would use it - even if the price was matched. My only concern would be, could Southwater sustain a third bus service??
