Alton Towers: Only another thirty hills to go

I'm not sure how many ups and downs there really are but there are certainly some good ones as coaches from the south exit the M6 Motorway at Stafford and trundle through the counties green and pleasant countryside on ancient windy A-roads like the A518 heading for that mecca of similar ups and Downs fun, the famous amusement park at Alton Towers. It is probably about a two-hundred mile round trip for this Heyfordian Jonckheere bodied Scania, but the foolhardy come far greater distances than Oxford to make themselves feel nausea or even sick on the punishing daredevil rides like the Ghost Train. My friends loved it and I would go again but only as far as coach park.
