Heathrow Airport was closed, the M1 motorway was shut and businesses across the South East were complaining about the transport chaos. Chineham Park, however, still had a full bus service running every day as normal throughout the bad weather that has seen a large proportion of the UK’s workforce grind to a halt. Both complimentary buses kept to their timetables and offered a hassle-free option for workers at Chineham Park.Wendy Fletcher, Travel Coordinator for MEPC Chineham Park explains, “Our bus service has been applauded for its environmental impact but in weather such as we all experienced this week, it shows that the bus service can be more reliable than most other transport links. Thanks to the dedication of our drivers our bus service kept Chineham Park open for business through the worst snow storms for two decades. We had masses of calls on Monday to ask if the service was running and we were able to assure all our occupiers and their employees that there was a safe and dependable transport option.”
The service operates every 15 minutes during peak times throughout the day between 07h15 and 18h30, shuttling people working on the Park to and from Basingstoke Train Station, undertaking 160,000 passenger trips in 2008.
