Late arrival of Coach For whatever reason, should the coach be late in arriving at its designated pick up point, at the day trip attraction itself or the return drop off we will not be liable to offer any form of compensation.

Passenger Behaviour   We want all our customers to have a happy and carefree day out. But you must remember that you are respnsible for your behaviour and the effect it may have on others.

If this happens we will have no further obligations or liability to you. The coach driver or authorised official of other meand of transport is entitled to refuse you boarding if in their reasonable opinion you are uacceptably under the influence of drink or drugs or you are being violent or disruptive.
