[BERNADETTE]

We came back from the Royal Preston by bus last year(only because someone decided they wouldn't wait for a lift) and I can only describe it as a nightmare. A bus from the hospital to the centre, then a wait of about three quaters of an hour for a connection. As Margaret says that journey takes just over an hour and then another wait for bus from Blackburn to Accrington. Not a trip to take at the best of times much less when you have just spent three hours in a hospital!!!!
