Fleet

We currently have a fleet of 20 minibuses.

Range from 5 to 16 seaters of which some are fully accessible for wheelchairs and those with walking difficulties. Available 7 days a week including evenings and weekends.

Drivers

Every driver must hold a D1 entitlement on their licence and must be 25 and over years of age, preferably with a clean licence. Anyone that passed their test before 31^st December 1996 will have this. Anyone with an old style licence will be covered by Category A vehicles.

We ask that any driver that drives the minibuses completes a MiDAS (Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme) Certificate. This training is provided by our trainers at £60 per driver for Standard or accessible training and £100.00 when booked together. Drivers DO NOT need to be members of your group; a friend or relative is acceptable.

Volunteer Drivers

We have a very limited number of volunteers that drive for us. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE to be able to supply you a driver, so we ask that you have some members of your groups trained so if the situation arises that we are not able to provide one your group is not let down if you have your own drivers.
