D and B taxis is a new company started by two of Ulverston's existing drivers. They are both good drivers, and pleasant. I have only used them twice, but they were on time and competatively priced. read more

Ulverstion Bus Terminus is not a building. It's a collection of bus stops with a refreshment and…read morenews Kiosk. The number 6 bus leaves here for stops to Barrow from 06.10hrs and the X35 to Kendal at 06.22hrs. The last bus from Barrow arrives at 23.22hrs and Kendal at midnight. The bus shelters leak in parts, but have bottom rests. Coaches visiting usually drop off and pick up opposite the Kiosk. The Tourist Information Center is between the Bus stops and the center of town, next to the Laurel and Hardy Statue. This may be an uninspireing review but hopefully it will give you what you need to know.

If I book him to pick me up from the railway station, and the train is late, I feel that I can rely on him to wait( maybe that's because I'm a regular. I don't know ). I rang him at half seven this morning and he managed to pick me up within 5 minutes, to go 3 miles into town and then straight back! He is also good with elderly clients and those with physical disabilities.

From the outside, Wigan Bus Station looks nice with a relatively new sign, from the entrance from…read moreThe Galleries area but on the inside, it is just your typical bus station and in a way resembles Bury station, with a few platforms split off in a few mini-stations. They is a lot of buses which go from here, including to Manchester, Southport, Bolton and The Trafford Center, but I can't help but feel most of the buses are unneeded and go too far, for example Manchester is only around half an hour on the train, but getting the bus here is 85 minutes and when Southport is also around 1/2 an hour on the train, but still the bus takes nearly 2 hours which is ridiculous, considering services available from Wigan Wallgate. I think it is misleading for people who may not know the area for buses to take so long, when the train takes only a fraction of this, and going on one of these journeys is in a way a punishment, and I'm sure it wouldn't be much cheaper (if anything) than getting the train. I feel to get the best of public transport, the station should work with Wallgate and North Western to encourage people to use the train for longer journeys, and then this station can become a local hub, with more buses going to local destinations which will help benefit Wigan and local towns, and give people a better deal. As a station this is merely average and is your typical bus station, with a newsagents etc, it isn't terrible as it is good to have in central Wigan but sadly I don't feel it deserves over 2 stars.

Until that lottery win comes in though I'll have to settle for a fleet of Vespas. Whilst they are getting their service, it's back to the board and public transport ago. Leeds is pretty well covered on the main buse routes and West Yorkshire Metro are the main suppliers. Now we all grumble about the service and standard in this country but I have to say Metro aren't half bad. What I will rave about is the free city centre buses, excellent. Metro's freecitybus links Leeds' rail and bus stations, business and shopping districts, the General Infirmary, Universities and Park Lane College. Not half bad Jack, especially as they run every few minutes from 6.30am till 7.30pm. You'll also find plenty of buses taking you to the outskirts of the city. Particularly handy if you want to venture to the football at Elland Road or the rugby and cricket at Headingley. They aren't perfect, but hell what is these days. However, after a day hitting the shops or getting home from work you really can't slam the service they provide.

Not only are they prompt to respond via email but they know the ins and outs of train travel in a way that I don't and that I don't care to learn. One year ago I needed to get from a town in the North Cotswolds to a town in Wales and was growing uneasy with the process and baffled by my options. Gates Travel to the rescue. Not only could they tell me exactly which trains ran when but they could also tell me which were the best deals. They even went further when they realized that I was traveling in a party of two: they did the math and determined that the "two together" card was a worthwhile investment for my trips. I doubt I'd even know of the "two together" pass and benefits without it having been recommended by Gates Travel. All of my train tickets and the "two together" card have been secured and paid for online and Gates Travel sends me the physical documents via email and/or the postal service. With the help of Gates Travel I don't have to become an expert. I'm uncertain what other travel services Gates Travel provides as I've only used them to secure train tickets and advice. But based on this, I feel comfortable that they could help with any of your United Kingdom travel needs.

British Waterways at Galgate has a marina with moorings for narrowboats and cruisers on the…read moreLancaster canal. There's a slipway and private parking for berth holders. My experience of the marina is as a user of the sanitary station which is available for boaters on the canal. Facilities include Elsan disposal, toilets, shower, pump out etc. The rubbish disposal facilities are up steps by the side of the sanitary station. The facilities are generally kept reasonably clean and aren't bad as sanitary stations go. There are extensive visitor moorings on the towpath side of the canal with one water point between the long term and visitor moorings. Galgate itself has two pubs, a post office and general stores so people who moor at the marina have everything they need only a short walk away.

The railway runs for 3 1/2 miles from Haverthwaite Station, along the banks of the River Leven, to Lakeside Station where passengers can board a boat to cruise across Lake Windermere. There is the Station Restaurant at Haverthwaite Station where you can purchase drinks breakfast, coffee or lunch. One of their specialialties are Giant Homemade Scones. I tried one and it was very good. It is definitely a giant scone and I split it with my son. Apparently, they are supposed to have a really good apple pie and sausage made by a local butcher. They also serve their very own locally brewed "Fairburn Ale". It was too early in the morning or I would have tried that. In addition, there is a Gift Shop that sells books, model locomotives and other souvenirs. Website: www.lakesiderailway.co.uk
