I would just like to say a big thank you for yesterday. The job went very smoothly this year and all your drivers & conductors acted very professionally. They were all smart , polite and we had no issues with any of the vehicles. Please pass this onto all your staff who worked with me yesterday.​
Best Wishes , Katie

Just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the fantastic service that your company provided us with on our wedding day. The driver was very prompt and friendly and everyone loved the bus, which we had kept as a surprise :) We took some lovely photos on board the bus, which I will send you through over the next few months. We thank you again and will definitely be recommending your services.
Best Wishes , Ellena and Jonathan Hill

On behalf of the College, I would like to say a BIG thank you for the use of your 1939 double decker bus and drivers on Monday the 9th July. Everyone had a great time and thought the bus was fanastic!  It brought back lots of memories for the older members of staff and for the younger ones, a unique one off experience.  It certainly changed the atmosphere whilst travelling, as everyone could chat to everyone, not just the person beside you  as on previous coach trip.​
Kind regards, Julie
