COVID:19 UPDATE: COACH HIRE, EXCURSIONS AND HOLIDAYS ARE GOOD TO GO!

We are really pleased with our recent achievement of the Visit Britain’s ‘Good to Go’ Status. We have recently launched our Safe Operating Procedure and COVID:19 Risk Assessment to help provide you with reassurance and confidence to travel. As we all start to see some light at the end of the tunnel, here’s update on all three of our main operating sections.

COACH HIRE – WE’RE GOOD TO GO!

We are indeed, everything is in place and we’re keen to get going! We’re receiving plenty of enquiries and bookings for next year and we’re also starting to take bookings again for later this year.  Although we are still limited, by government regulations, to provide for groups of no more than 30, we do have vehicle capacity to hand and our drivers are itching to get back to work! So if you need a coach for anything for small groups or large and for any reason, be it business, education or leisure, then please give us a call or request a quote by

DAY EXCURSIONS – WE’RE VERY MUCH GOOD TO GO!

We are delighted to advise that we are re-starting our popular excursions programme on Saturday 1^st August. These are our Express Excursions which are on a ‘park & ride’ basis from our depot– where you can park in our car park all day, hop on board, with of course all our social distancing and precautions in place, and enjoy a great day out, to places like Llandudno, Blackpool, Liverpool, Barry Island and London to name a few.  Each trip is £24 per person and we apologise for the fact that we’ve had to increase the prices of these, but it is due to the fact that we can operate them with reduced capacity on board and ensure absolute cleansing and santisation. You can book your next express excursion by clicking here.

HOLIDAYS – WE’RE GOOD TO GO – VERY SOON!

With holidays, the process of re-starting is of course more involved, as we’ve had to go through the process of receiving and checking each hotel’s risk assessment and also those of the attractions included, to ensure that their procedures, as well as ours, provide for complete safety for our passengers and staff, as well as between us all, making sure that the holiday is fully enjoyable.  However, we are again, delighted to announce that we intend to re-start our holiday programme from September onwards. We’ve also just released the brand new list of our holiday programme, from September this year right through to Christmas next year! To read a copy of this departure list call our team on 01562 820002.

AND FINALLY – WE’RE….I think you’ve got the message now! Thank you for your support through all this. We wish you well – stay safe, stay positive and we look forward to seeing you soon. 

Best Wishes from The Whittles Team
