Great set of fans travelling thank you for becoming members of Poulton-Le-Fylde Seasiders and choosing to travel on our coach.

Dawn our driver was brill as usual.
It’s smoother than the train the way she drives.

Sorry to hear BSA had a coach breakdown.
I don’t know why they use Redline, the amount of custom they have given them over the years and they can’t provide decent coaches.

We used Redline twice when our “travel partner” had driver problems.
Middlesbrough the coach was ok but toilet out of action for return journey, but the driver did end up being a “good lad”.
We took two Redline coaches to Forest again toilets didn’t work on return journey, our driver couldn’t navigate to the City Ground I had to do it, The couldn’t give us a 53 Seater because it was in for repair.
Both drivers had an awful attitude.

Compare to our “travel partner” who only have less than four year only Mercedes Coaches Redlines were “pre-historic”.

Hope BSA replacement coach arrived in time for the final whistle and all got back safely.

Couldn’t help “smirk” 😀 when our “Blue Beauty” passed the broken down Redline coach being towed up the M6.

Hope it was one of the drivers that took us to Forest. #Karma🧡🚌

Good/fair/honest feedback - go independent is the message

A decent UK train service would also be handy
 
I have to give the Cross Country service from Leeds full marks. A number of YS were booked on the 10.03 from Leeds to Brum. Trains were being cancelled left right and centre. Our train was running one and a half hours late so a special was put on from Leeds which, granted, was only four carriages but left on time, arriving in Brum one minute late. Well done Cross Country trains.👍

Oh dear.😟

Seems you spoke to soon, if I'm to believe what I'm hearing from some PLF Seasiders.

Is it true this `great new coach partner' has already sacked any more future football fixtures?😔

"Toilet included"

WHY??

The Coach company were not “new” they were our “established” travel partner.

I am disappointed they have a poor supply of drivers.

They “claim” the coach that came back from Birmingham, smelt of beer and the floor was sticky.

As a company they don’t clean their coaches between returning on a Saturday and doing a school run on a Monday.

I know for sure the coach was tidy as i personally went round with bin bags periodically collecting rubbish.

To quote their MD “Ashley, I am doing this at the lowest cost and can do a trip to an Xmas market for a lot more money and you wouldn’t know anyone had been on the coach.

Couple the above with their driver shortage that they have had all season (no second coach despite requesting for nearly every trip) and by all means draw your own conclusions……..I have certainly drawn mine.

RESULT………. New “travel partner” appointed, Eventually Blackpool pick up will be phased out as there are plenty of other coaches going from the area and we will be what the name suggests:
Poulton-Le-Fylde Seasiders 🧡

Hope that explains the situation.

Ashley.
PLFS.
