Tuesday and Thursday Himaya Haven were doing Outreach work in Brinsford and Featherstone. On 2 occasions peoples visits were cancelled without prior notice. Both families had travelled from Birmingham. Because there is no direct bus from the station families have to get taxis costing £10.00. One family had come in a taxi from Birmingham costing £35 but a return is from Wolverhampton to Birmingham is £45. The reason is that it's roughly the same to get a bus to new street station , then a train to Wolverhampton, then a taxi from Wolverhampton. We had to consule the families who were crying their heart out on not just spending all that money but not being able to visit there loved one. If anyone knows any families in this situation who travel to Oakwood, Brinsford and Featherstone can book a shuttle bus and half the cost and even pickup from Birmingham. And if they are receiving benefits the can get travel assistance.
