West Coast Shuttle
Recently I travelled to Christchurch and Back on the new shuttle service which departs from the Regent Theatre at 8am and returns at 3pm.
I was dropped at the Christchurch Airport at 11.30am with plenty of time to catch my international flight.
On the way home there was a slight problem which caused a small delay. I have had worse delays on air flights. One of the passengers lived in Barrytown and his wife had come to town to take him home. The passenger's wife had four young children with her. The shuttle operator's wife met them, sent them home, met the shuttle at South Beach Motels and took the passenger to Barrytown. That is service.
Further, I was dropped off at the corner of Chapel and Alexander streets, saving me the problem of having to get transport. I wish the shuttle service the best and hope to have many more trips on it.

West Coast Shuttle
Last week we took our sons aged three years and 20 months on the TranzAlpine train to Arthur's Pass. Our plan was to bring them back home to Greymouth by the West Coast Shuttle.
We were really apprehensive and worried as to how the Shuttle ride would be for our tired little boys since they have not been on it before. We all know what tired, grouchy children do when they get tired: they bring the roof down much to the horror of their well meaning parents.
But all that changed when we got on the Shuttle. What luxury. Reclining seats, seat belts, pillows for the head to rest on. video player, toys for the children, tissue paper. Snacks can be bought for a small fee, video player if you are tired of the scenery or on dark winters evenings, and the plus point of all is the onboard toilet. Wow.
My children felt so comfortable and once they got strapped in, fell asleep. What a relief for a worried parent. It is much more luxurious and safer, in my view, than Hokitika flights.
Above all, West Coast Shuttle contribute their valuable service to the needy people and organisation once a month (good work). Well done Cedric and Marlene and thank you for your valuable service to our community and the travellers to the West Coast too. It is a real blessing.
