<title><![CDATA[General | Withdrawal of Short Journey Fare for Service 887]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Due to the re-routing of service 887 through Hasbury and Hayley Green, the Short Journey fare has been withdrawn. Services 864 and 887 are the only two services that currently operate without a Short Journey zone.<br />
<br />
Will will honour our agreement with all existing 887 customers who hold a valid Short Journey bus pass for the current academic year, but no more reduced rate passes will be sold unless an 887 customer already held one in the academic year 2007/08.<br />]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[General | How to Adjust Your Screen Resolution to View the Website Properly]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[This website looks so cool because it's built in something called Flash. The downside is that it can look 'zoomed in' on your screen. To change this, do the following:<br />
<br />
Go to your PC's main desktop page, right-click on the screen, go to the Properties section and in Settings change the Screen Resolution so that it's nice and high!<br />
<br />
If you're still having trouble, then ring our Green team on 0845 234 2222.<br type="_moz" />]]></description>
