What Time Should I Arrive at My Pick-Up Point?
Please be at your pick-up point at least 10 minutes before the departure time. We stick to the timetable so the trip runs smoothly for everyone.
Which Way Round Does the Coach Go?
Our pick-up routes run in both directions, depending on where the trip is going. That means the order of the stops, and the time at each one, can change from trip to trip, so always check the departure time shown online with your trip.
Where Can I Find the Departure and Return Times?
Departure and return times are shown online with each trip on our day trips page.
Where Are We Dropped off at the End of the Day?
We drop off along the same route and stops as the pick-up, unless the trip says otherwise.
Can You Add an Extra Pick-Up Stop for Our Group?
For larger groups we’re happy to arrange extra pick-up stops on request. Call us on 0113 871 5327 to talk it through.
Do You Stop on the Way?
We don’t usually stop on the way, so you get more time at the destination. On very long journeys, where the driver must legally take a break, there’s a scheduled 20-minute stop.
