Dear list members,
Cotemporary archaeology bus tours sell out!!! mmm, we could devise some alternate itineraries...
A Sussex-based coach tour operator has announced a second date of a day-trip around the M25, the 117-mile motorway orbiting London. Brighton & Hove, a coach operator based in Sussex, feels that this 117-mile stretch of motorway is something worth celebrating. It is now offering a new journey around the London Orbital, a trip it feels will appeal to "lovers of modern coach travel".
The tour was originally planned only for October next year but has proved so popular with customers that the operator has just announced an extra date in March. Sights on the tour, which travels up the A23 and M23 from Brighton before joining the M25 at Junction 7, include urban landmarks such Heathrow Airport's Terminal Five, Lakeside Shopping Centre, and the "magnificent" Dartford river crossing.The trip, which includes commentary from a co-driver on the stories facts behind the motorway's evolution, will also take in a stop at Epping Forest –and passengers will be invited to estimate to the nearest mile the distance the coach will travel, with a bottle of Champagne on offer for the closest guess. Potential passengers should not take too much time working out whether to book the right or the left-hand window seat for the views – drivers will decide on the day whether to go clockwise or anti-clockwise around the motorway.
