Today Matthew was going to his day service. As it was a bank holiday we had a day trip planned. Mathew got up around 08:00 and had toast and orange juice for breakfast. Just before 09;00 the bus appeared to pick up Matthew.... It was Shelton Care Group DV10 JCU.

We got on the bus and we sat down. We set off down to the A5035 were we turned left. We turned left onto Church Road and at the roundabout we turned left onto Blurton Road.

After a quick stop it was back onto the minibus for a run down to the RAF museum at Cosford. We set off onto Glebedale Road and we turned left onto City Road. We ran down the hill towards the railway line and we saw First Potteries 65727 on a #25 service to Hanley. We ran under the railway line on the A52 and we joined the Southbound A500. We traveled down past past hanford over the A34 and we joined the Southbound M6 at Hanchurch. As we travled down the M6 we saw an unidentified The Travellers Choice coach and Mainline YN07 EXV. We came of the M5 at Junction 12 ans we went East on the A5. At the first set of traffic light we went right onto Vicarage Road and through Four Ashes. We joined the Southbound A449 and we ran a couple of miles to the M54. We joined the Westbound M54 and we came off at Junction 3. We went South and we parked up at the museum. Matthew went to the toilet and then they walked around the museum looking at planes. One such example was this Dominie jet XS709.
