A special edition of the Road XS Podcast during the Corona Virus (COVID-19) pandemic. We have been working hard to develop a community delivery service and well-being addon to support efforts of all communities across the UK.  In this episode we touch upon the latest events and how the UK has changed since our last podcast episode and the impact the corona virus has had on our daily lives.  We wish all our listeners a safe and happy Easter.  We'll see you on the other side.

This episode offers a fascinating insight into the challenges which are facing community transport services up and down the country.  We welcome our special guest, Celia Arthur, the transport manager for Bluwave Community Transport (www.bluwave.org.uk), and we had a call to discuss the importance and value the role volunteer drivers play in their local community and how you too can become a volunteer driver.  Bluwave Community Transport are particularly busy and are always on the lookout for more volunteers and drivers.  We also discuss how Road XS (www.roadxs.com) is allowing them to do more journeys with less drivers to meet the increased demand for their services from the local community.  If you're in need for community transport services, don't forget to get in touch with your local provider, they really do make difference to people's lives every day.  Let's jump in!

Volunteer drivers are the backbone of community transport services.  Without them, people would not be able to get to where they need to be.  In this episode we take a look at the importance of volunteer drivers and how they help their local communities get to where they need to be.

In this episode we're really pleased to welcome our special guest David Squires. We discuss amongst many things the value of community transport for communities, the history of VASA (www.vasa.org.uk), increased traffic, car sharing, calendars and even rugby players!
