Great news! Especially for people who don't drive, and the elderly.

A valuable service for many in our community. Thankyou M&S and Tesco, where our hearing dog puppy Connie gets some of her training. She is a great fan, especially of the floor in the cafe!

An excellent and reliable service, thank you to Marks & Spencer and Tesco and of course, D&G buses. I used it this morning, the bus arrived bang on time and was welcomed by a smiling bus driver, arrived bang on time at Handforth Dean and had a very enjoyable hour and a half browsing around the shops.

What spoilt the return journey though was a group of elderly ladies moaning from the second they stepped onto the bus, "they don't go here, why do they go through Styal etc, etc" It infuriates me to hear such total ingratitude, its free for goodness sake. I told them they should be grateful, so please if you have any comments to make, keep them positive as if we don't use it (the service) we wil loose it. That would be such a shame when D&G have been so good to do this for our community. To hear gratitude makes the world a better place. Thank you
