Went on Pride of North Holiday , the only Highlight was Liverpool but even that trip was a four hour round journey from Hotel in Crewe . Why stay such a distance away in a Hotel [ Crewe Arms ] extremely noisy due to Room being practically on the busy station platform and Trains run most of night with platform announcements non stop. Complained to Manager and was told a " Rescue Package " available , what a joke , Earplugs and a sachet Hot Chocolate !! Our Driver was great but unable to do anything to change things . Dropped off to spend 4 hours in an outlet Shopping Mall with very little to do but drink Coffee , we were all fed up . On returning from trip to Manchester given no time to freshen up for Evening Meal as it was brought forward for FOOTBALL on TV . Feeder Coach driver got lost several times on both Journeys ,we went around Basingstoke three times and totally wrong way coming out of Reading which added an hour to journey . I have been on many holidays and never felt the need to complain before . Wrote to Alfa but not had decency to reply . Never again .
