Good afternoon all - I have had more calls & messages from customers concerned about the implementation of the new EES (Entry & Exit System) being rolled out at ports & airports.

The EES applies to the Schengen area, which comprises 25 of the 27 EU member states as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland - Republic of Ireland are not as yet implementing the new system.

The system means most non-EU citizens will have to register their biometric information at the border. Travellers’ faces will have to be photographed and fingerprints scanned before they are allowed into Europe’s Schengen area. The system will eventually replace passports being stamped by border officials.

This will be done at passport control AT YOUR DESTINATION AIRPORT so there may be delays whilst the system gets up and running but NOT from your UK DEPARTING airport.

Your biometric data (fingerprints and photo) will be recorded and stored in a central EES database for three years - each time you travel to the region the 3 year time will reset - you’ll only have to renew your details on the database if your passport expires and a new one is used.

I hope this clarifies and helps - there is no need to arrive at the Airport any earlier and for those who have asked both Birmingham & East Midlands average time from drop to departure lounge is less than 30 minutes.

We almost have a full book for the July end of term getaway so if you haven’t booked yet - I would hate to disappoint you!

Good evening all - I have had several calls from customers concerned about the implementation of the new EES (Entry & Exit System) being rolled out over the next 6 months at ports & airports.

The EES applies to the Schengen area, which comprises 25 of the 27 EU member states as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland - Republic of Ireland are not as yet implementing the new system.

The system means most non-EU citizens will have to register their biometric information at the border.

Have a great half term break!

2 years ago the council axed a bus route that passed through Tudor road into Hinckley town.
We were then awarded a contract to take a group of elderly people from the bus stop into town in the mornings and return them in the afternoon. The youngest member of what became the ‘Bus Club’ is 86 - and we grew a fantastic relationship with all of them.
Last month the council reintroduced a bus service from Ashby Road and the ladies & gentleman struggled to walk the 10 mins to the new bus stop and especially on the return when they had shopping to carry.
This has lead the members only venturing into town once or twice a week instead of 5 or 6 days they had previously.
One of the drivers bumped into Mary this week - she is just delicious! She told the driver that since the taxi’s stopped she has been really struggling to get out to see her friends and she was really quite lonely and was making her poorly (Mary is 92 years young!)

We, on hearing this we made a plan we would pick them up on a Monday Wednesday & Friday free of charge and I would pay the drivers…..much to the delight of the Bus Club members.
But the drivers have taken this one step further - in the group chat ALL the drivers want to help so we are providing this service free of charge Mon-Fri.
Comments I have read from the drivers included ‘Community Service’ ‘Not about the money- it’s more important than that’ ‘A small gesture that has a huge impact on 4 peoples lives’
I doff my cap to all that have agreed to help Jo,Sue,Ian & Cemil you should be extremely proud of yourselves and I hope you have a little warmth in your belly when you realise just how much of a difference you have made to the lives of the Bus Club members.

I feel honoured to be part of this extraordinary team of people.
