Why not use the bus instead?

The Journal is asked to remind villagers that the Suffolk Links Gipping North service is now available between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday to Saturday, for pre-arranged journeys in an area including Mendlesham, the Stonhams, the Creetings, Haughley, Woolpit, Rattlesden and Great Finborough, connecting the villages with Stowmarket and Needham Market.

The vehicle, an example of which is shown above, is fully accessible with low steps, hand rails and a lift for wheelchair access. Best of all, concessionary passes are valid on all services after 9.30 a.m. Monday to Friday, and all day on Saturday.

And even if you don't have a concessionary pass, the return fare to Stowmarket is just £2.10 (£1.30 for a one way trip), and it will pick up as close to your door as is reasonable (usually on Pound Road).

Journeys can be booked up to a week in advance, and passengers can have two  days worth of travel arranged at any one time. For more information, or simply to book a journey, call 01449 616000. Margaret, and her team of helpers, will do everything they can to get you to where you want to go, when you want to go.

But passengers are asked to bear in mind that the bus may not be available exactly when you want it, so some flexibility is really appreciated. And bring the exact fare if you can, as change may not always be available.
