The latest changes to regulations in England were announced by the Prime Minister on 12th October 2020, in regard to new measures the government are taking to tackle the impact of COVID-19. We want to reassure you, our loyal customers, that we are still good to go! We are following our Safe Operating Procedures and COVID-19 Risk Assessments. As well as advice from the Government's announcements and updates from the CPT and CTA to ensure your safety, and enjoyment on all of our holidays, day excursions and coach hire.
Three Tier Approach - How does it affect my booking?
Tier 1 (Medium Risk) Residents in areas categorised as Tier 1 are still able to travel outside their area to other Tier 1 or 2 areas, this will still allow your coach trips/holidays to continue.
Tier 2 (High Risk) the same guidance applies as Tier 1, residents in Tier 1 or 2 areas are allowed to travel to other Tier 1 or 2 areas as long as you are following social distancing regulations.
Tier 3 (Very High Risk) all holidays, day excursions and coach hire to these locations have unfortunately had to be cancelled as it is advised, by the Government, that although travelling through these areas is permitted, journeys should not involve any stops.
Coach Hire - Let's get back on the road again!
We understand that these are uncertain times, and we want to let you know that we are here to help! Our coach hire department have extensive knowledge in ensuring you can book your next coach hire in confidence. Be that an employee shuttle transport service or a one-off coach hire.

Holidays - We're Good to Go for Tier 1 and 2!

Day Excursions - Let's support UK tourism!
