Zenloff Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 That was a truly amazing experience. That escort was unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumnio Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 There were motorcycle outriders who went ahead of the bus convoy, closed off the motorway access slip roads, so we had a clear motorway all the way from the city centre to the Azteca Stadium. Police jeeps, saloons and plenty of motorcycles, it was VIP treatment. It was quite strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was proper presidency, royalty stuff. They closed down what seemed like the main motorway spine through the city for us. You could see the miles of traffic back the way as we merged onto the road with our huge official escort with flashing lights the lot.

Stockareeboy Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I would really like to thank all those involved from WESTA for their organisational skills for the swift and secure run to and from the match. The 4 of us: Deek, Yvonne, Susan and myself (Eddie) were really impressed by the security arrangements involving the 500 or more local police who escorted us and met us on arrival at the Estadio Azteca. Still over here just now in Cancun and if I could post videos I would. When I get back, I'll load them to YouTube and post the links. Thanks again.

I heard that bus 2 in Peru and bus 6 in Mehico were excellently supplied with refreshments. Especially the seats up the back. 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swiss_toniTA Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Also just wanted to pass on my thanks to the WESTA boys for their efforts in Peru and Mexico - appreciated immensely and the memory of Mexico will live long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
