Please post ANY help to try to get stranded people back to the UK

Fibby, I'm genuinely sorry you are caught up in this nightmare & we likely are too, as we are also here & due to leave on Easyjet on Friday evening. With the latest news of a new ash cloud approaching the UK we may be stranded too.

As I said in a previous post >> read thread >>> ...TRANSPORT HOME (Click blue link) started by 'orange' Mon Apr 19, 2010 1:37 pm

'The airlines such as Thomsons, Monarch etc are arranging free buses from the major airports in Spain to the ferry ports and organising to get people to the UK. CONTACT YOUR AIRLINE OR THE BRITISH CONSULATE.'

That info was posted by Alan (member 'orange' on the Torrevieja.co.uk forum) who owns Clydegrove coaches/taxis. Perhaps you should send him a PM or add to his thread on there.

Good luck to us both.

 Many thanks More.

I was thinking of registering my plight with the Consulate as I am diabetic have high blood pressure etc., and now have had to pay for medications in Spain.

Maybe I would be classed as a special case?

Worth a try...........

Good luck to you too.

Kind regards,

Hello there everyone, I am willing to offer a service in order to help people get to Bilbao to the ferries. I can take up to 4 people in my van comfortably and I am able to fit plenty of luggage in also. I am charging 200 euros per person ( for diesil etc) and am able to pick people up for the Torrevieja area, Quesada, Guardamar but I am able to travel further if needed. I am able to set off as soon as I have got 4 people. For anymore info ring or text me: dan: 639435597

Hi,

We're taking our van from Malaga - Calais on Thursday and can seat 8 for 300€ per person. If this is of interest please call Emma on 685 381 612.

To Danny Boy

Will you be insured to carry 4 passengers

hi yes am insured the van is a 6 seater so insured for 6 seats.thanks.

Fred, I doubt VERY MUCH if anyone desperate to get home CARES tuppence about the insurance but, OF COURSE, they should. Beggars can't be choosers springs to mind here. Don't let's get into a debate about THAT here please. Anyway I see Danny is insured (but likely not for fare paying passengers. )

Hi More

Still seems a lot of money the train option is much wiser and safer plus there is that Golf tour operater offering to take people for less than 70 euros pp

But Fred, isn't it up to all of us who can give info on help or offer help even if overpriced to post & let those who need help make up their own minds? I well understand what you're saying but many are not or indeed cannot follow the many forums you & I do. We are only recently on the internet ourselves which has proved invaluable.

well wen you break it down it isnt a lot of money after you take the diesel out the tolls and time both ways.

This is a post from the Torrevija.co.uk forum

British and Spanish government have created a hub at Madrid airport to transport passengers free to ferry ports in Spain and France.
We are organising buses up to 16 seat and looking to fill them.
500 euro for bus and driver to Madrid
700 euro for bus and driver to Bilbao
total cost split between the passengers.
If you are in a hurry and want to go now without filling buses the price is the same
Call 966791617
don't send pms or emails
