Greyhound Service Commences In The UK
America's 95 Year Old Bus Icon Set To Revolutionise UK Inter-City Travel
The UK's largest transport operator, FirstGroup today commences with the first UK routes of Greyhound coach services which will see the iconic American brand operating in the UK for the first time in its 95 year history. Greyhound UK launches its inaugural coach services with routes between London and the cities of Portsmouth and Southampton.
Onboard features of the new coach service include leather seating, free wi-fi, air conditioning, free newspapers and up to 20% extra leg room - with 41 seats rather than the 50 typically operated by rival coach companies. Fares will start from £1 each way if booked online. The services will have kerb-side pick ups at a number of locations with non-stop journeys between cities. This will provide a journey time advantage of up to 40% over rival coach operators, whose services typically stop a number of times at intermediate locations. Distributed by Tubemogul.

GREYHOUND USA
The legendary Greyhound coaches offer the only countrywide network of coach services in the USA and Canada. The US company was set up in Minnesota in 1914 by Carl Wickman, a Swedish immigrant. The coaches grey livery led them to being nicknamed greyhounds and the company took on the name in 1929. Since then, the brand has become one of the most famous in the world and has been immortalised on the big screen including It Happened One Night (1934 - Clark Gable & Claudette Colbert); Midnight Cowboy (1969 Jon Voight & Dustin Hoffman); Breakfast at Tiffanys (1961 Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard); Sleepers (1996 - Robert De Niro & Kevin Bacon) and in popular pop and rock classics including Under the Boardwalk by The Drifters; New York State of Mind by Billy Joel; and America by Simon and Garfunkel.

Another year, another €80 million for horse and greyhound racing
Another year, another €80 million for the horse and greyhound racing industries: Watch Paul Murphy TD's speech during the Dail Eireann debate on the Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2017 (6 December). The Solidarity Dublin South West politician highlighted the cruelty in the greyhound industry, asking the Minister for Agriculture: How long can you continue to ignore the horrific conditions faced by greyhounds in this industry?. Covered in Deputy Murphy's speech was the doping of greyhounds and the suffering of greyhounds exported to China, Pakistan and other countries which have very low or effectively zero animal welfare regulations or legislation.

Chester 3 Leeds 0 November 13 1974
Rough and ready tribute to the 4th Division Chester team that produced the greatest night in the club's history, beating Champions Leeds 3-0 at Sealand Road in heavy rain. Leeds pictures are interspersed with cuttings from the Newcastle and Villa games as Chester got close to being the first 4th Division side to make it to a Wembley final. Fair dues to the Chronicle and Observer photographers who produced such brilliant photos of the games. Music- Gary Shearston, I get a kick out of you by Cole Porter, in the UK charts in November 1974.
