A special CRN coach from London
There will be some serious rail maintenance work on the London-Birmingham train services that Saturday 17th May.
To make life easier for those of you coming from London, or travelling to Birmingham from the South East or South through London, we have decided to lay on a coach.
Travel cost
The price for a coach booking will be £25.- day return; that is £15.- less than the normal train fares, which are about £40.-.for a day return. A fair number of asylum pseeker particiapnts can of course travel for free.
To date we have booked a 33 seater. If many of you promptly come rushing to book, then we will ‘upgrade’ to a larger 50-60 seater coach. Please let us know QUICKLY therefore if you would like to make a coach reservation.
Coach stewards/ mobile travel contact.
If you do book a coach seat, let us have your mobile number in case of travel problems…..so coach stewards can contact you.
You will also receive a coach steward mobile number with your booking confirmation.
Pick-up stops
