Safer Coach Travel Update - Private Hire

When the time is right we are looking forward to welcoming you back on board. Keeping you all safe and well is our top priority and we've been busy doing everything we can to put additional measures in place, both on board our coaches and our depots to make you and our drivers feel safe and comfortable when returning on board.

Our New Safety Measures And How You Can Help:

Hand Sanitiser

We advise passengers to wash hands whereever. Where this is not possible hand sanitiser dispensers will be available on coaches for customers to use as you board and alight.

Face Coverings

Government guidance recommends the wearing of a face covering or mask when travelling on transport. To minimise the spread of the virus you will be required to wear a face mask or face covering on board the coach subject to certain exemptions.

Limited Seating Capacity

The maximum capacity of all coaches will be limited to help with social distancing. Only window seats will be available. The Double seat directly behind the driver will be out of use.

Concerns Whilst Travelling

If you have any concerns during your journey, please contact us to make us aware. 016973 21069

Enhanced Cleaning

Regular aerosol based disinfection with a high performance antiviral solution, sometimes called ‘fogging’ will be in place. Key touch points including handrails, armrests, seat belts and toilets will be cleaned regularly using a high performance chlorine based antiviral cleaning solution.

Ventilation

Throughout your journey all roof vents will be open to allow a fresh circulation of air and the driver window will be open if safe to do so.

Boarding Process

Please be patient, fill coaches from the back and empty from the front where possible. Boarding and alighting may take longer than usual.

Social Distancing

Follow signage and on-board announcements to maintain social distancing.

Driver Safety

All our drivers have been provided with a driver protection kit & protective equipment including masks, gloves, hand sanitiser and have attended a back to work safety briefing.
