NB. The times shown above are DEPARTURE times for the points shown. Please be there before these times.
•   We try to run our pick ups to time but traffic congestion, roadworks etc, can cause delays along the way. It is therefore
    possible your coach may be running late on some occasions.
•   Due to constraints on drivers hours return times will be notified to you on the day by the driver.
•   The coach will only stop at pickups that have been requested
•   Where pickups are shown as B4 + 1 the pick up place will be on route B4, 1 hour later than the time shown i.e. first pick up
    Leyton at 09.30
•   Due to restrictions at bus stops the coach will not be able to wait for latecomers, we will not be held liable and no refund will be
    issued.
