The Shuttle (bus)
The Shuttle was a free bus service in Central Christchurch, New Zealand. Introduced in December 1998, the popular service represented the first use of turbine-electric hybrid vehicles in New Zealand. It was operated until the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake and carried about one million passengers per year. It was not reinstated after the central city cordons were removed in 2013. History In Christchurch, as in the rest of New Zealand, public transport is the responsibility of the regional council. In addition to the commercial services organised by Canterbury Regional Council, the Christchurch City Council commenced a free service on either 1 or 12 December 1998 (sources differ). The rationale for the service was to provide an economic stimulus for central city retailers. The operator for the service was Christchurch Transport Ltd (later renamed Red Bus), a company fully owned by the city council through Christchurch City Holdings.

The Shuttle (newspaper)
''The Shuttle'', formerly known as the ''Kidderminster Shuttle'', is a free weekly newspaper distributed to households in the Wyre Forest area of Worcestershire, England, on a Thursday. In the Stourport area it was known as the ''Stourport News'', and there was also a paid-for edition, the ''Kidderminster Times''; all three papers have had identical editorial content since 2005 although each had its own masthead front page until April 2006. Since then all three papers have been renamed as ''The Shuttle'' incorporating the ''Kidderminster Shuttle'', the ''Kidderminster Times'' and the ''Stourport News''. The local office in Stourport was closed at the same time. The paper remains a local institution in the Kidderminster area, notably with its in-depth coverage of local politics and Kidderminster Harriers F.C. The ''Shuttle'' was first published in the 19th century, and takes its name from the carpet industry for which Kidderminster is famous. The current editor of the ''Shuttl ...

Plot summary Sir Nigel Anstruthers comes to New York in search of an heiress, as he no longer has enough money to keep up his estate, Stornham Court. He marries the pretty and cosseted Rosalie Vanderpoel, the daughter of an American millionaire. But on their return to England, Nigel and his mother control and isolate Rosalie from her family. Many years later, Rosalie's now-grown up sister Bettina, who has spent a decade wondering why Rosy has lost contact with the family, arrives at Stornham Court to investigate. She discovers Rosalie and her son Ughtred, physically and emotionally fragile, living in the ruined estate. Bettina, who is both beautiful and made of considerably stronger stuff than her sister, begins to restore both Rosalie's health and spirits ...
