**UPDATE 30th JUNE 2020**
We are pleased to advise we are now starting to slowly resume normal operations and our office will be open from Monday 6th July mornings only (0900 – 1230) for telephone enquiries.
The majority of our bus services should be operational again from Monday 6th July. There are a few minor alterations to some timetables so please see our website for details. We are hoping the 227 Edwinstowe Service will resume in a few weeks’ time. Telephone bookings for outlying villages will also re-commence from this date. Please ensure you ring our office by 12 noon the day before travel if you require the bus to pick you up.
Moving forward we are working on a new day excursion list, with a view to resuming these late August/early September. Social distancing will mean we can only operate on a limited seat capacity and we understand passengers will need to wear masks and use hand sanitizer when boarding the coach.
All holiday tours have now been cancelled until 22nd August but we are remaining optimistic they can resume again late August/early September. We are currently in the process of contacting hotels and visitor attractions to check they are open and able to accommodate our bookings. If you are due to travel on a holiday tour late August/early September, we will contact you in due course to confirm it is definitely operating and about paying the balance.
The lockdown has meant the majority of our vehicles have been off the road but we are now taking steps to slowly get them operational again with deep cleaning and servicing. If you have a private hire booking from July onwards we would be grateful if you could email us to confirm whether it is required so that we can ensure a suitable vehicle and driver are available.
Thank you again for your patience and understanding during these past few months – it is still a long road ahead but we are looking forward to taking you out on trips and holidays again. Your patronage keeps us all in a job and so we look forward to getting back to some sort of normality soon!
**UPDATE 16th JUNE 2020**
Bus service Caunton - Newark 332 is now operating along with a reduced 367 Collingham - Newark timetable.
We expect our other services and the full 367 Service to be re-instated in early July.
Whilst most staff are still furloughed and our office remains closed we are now compiling our 2021 tour brochure.
We are hoping to start operating holidays again later in the year but this is of course dependant on continually updated government advice and easing of the lockdown rules/social distancing.
With this in mind we are not taking any future holiday balance payments at the moment and ask that you please await notification from us. We will advise you to pay the balance once we know a tour is definitely going ahead.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding
Stay safe and stay well...
** UPDATE 20th MAY 2020 **
All day excursions have now been cancelled up to the end of July 2020.
All holiday tours have now been cancelled up to the end of July 2020. We are in the process of contacting passengers by letter.
All customers who had paid their balance on a holiday tour will receive a refund of this in due course. Please bear with us - we are working in strictly date order and they are taking time to process due to limited staff availability. Any insurance premium paid will also be refunded.
Customers who have had their holiday cancelled will also receive a legally binding Refund Credit Note for the deposits paid which can be utilised for another holiday (either later this year or next year).
Again please be patient as these are taking some time to process and send out.
Your understanding and compliance with the above is much appreciated by us all.
Thank you & stay safe
**UPDATE 12th May 2020**
Regrettably we have made the decision to cancel our July holidays and have therefore begun contacting all passengers affected with the options available.
As a small family business, we are deeply concerned the impact this dreadful pandemic is having on the country: the leisure and hospitality industry in particular seeming to be the worst affected. We are of course equally aware that our customers and passengers are being affected financially and would like to re-assure everyone your holiday payments are safe and our aim is to offer a fair and empathetic approach to refunds where requested.
Thank you again for your patience and understanding
Stay Safe!
To all Customers, Passengers & Clients
Following Government advice, and in the interests of health and safety for our staff and customers, our office will be closed to visitors until further notice.
As already advised, regrettably all of our day excursions and holiday tours, have been cancelled until the end of June. All passengers should now have received a letter or a telephone call confirming this (letters for the June excursions will be in the post shortly).
Our telephones will continue to be manned on Tuesday’s and Thursday only from 0900 – 12 noon and our emails will also be monitored. Please note – we will be dealing with essential enquiries only on these days.
As we hope you will appreciate we are unable to assist with refund enquiries at the present time. Please be assure
d these will be dealt once it is deemed safe for all of our office staff to return to work. Your patience and understanding of this is very much appreciated.
Regrettably our services (367, 341, 335, 136 and 227) will all be suspended from the end of today (Tuesday 24th March) until further notice. We sincerely apologise to those who regularly utilise our buses but hope you understand we cannot safely continue to operate at the present time.
We will of course keep our website and facebook page updated with further developments. Hopefully if everyone adheres to the advice given this will mean we are back to normal sooner rather than later.
Finally we would like to take this opportunity to thank customers, clients and passengers alike for their support, we have had some lovely phone calls and messages, all of which are gratefully received.
Please stay home and stay safe – rest assured -we will be back !!
Following Government advice yesterday we are very sorry to advise we will be cancelling all of our holidays and day excursions up until the end of June. We have not made this decision lightly and am sure you will appreciate the safety and well being of all our customers and staff has to be of paramount importance at such an uncertain time. We will be in touch with all customers shortly and in the meantime would politely ask everyone to be patient if trying to contact us - this is an exceptionally busy time for our office staff. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
