Coach transfer to Southampton from the North

Hello we got the Intercruise coach (an Ellisons one) down from Lancaster to the Oriana on 30th January.

We were booked to be picked up at the Holiday Inn at 7.15 am> however, a lady from Intercruise/Ellisons telephoned to say they had a 30 minute delay and to wait in the hotel. The coach had started at 2.00am at Edinburgh then picked up at Glasgow and Carlisle. We were the final pick up. A separate coach did Blackpool and Preston.

We were due to arrive at Southampton at 2.15pm (the coaches are given an arrival time so they don't all get there together). In actual fact we got there at 2.30pm.

We had two stops Lymm and Warwick service stations with a new driver at Lymm.

Our coach filled up quickly on the way back and we left Southampton about 9.00am and arrived at Lancaster at 4.00pm. That time had been arranged so another driver could take over for the final leg up to Glasgow.

All very efficiently done

We went with Eavesway from Lancaster, and as it was snowing, we were asked to be outside at 5.30am...

We were promised twice by the firm that we would return at 5pm, and had a taxi coming from West Cumbria for that time. In fact, we arrived at just after 3pm.

I should say that it's about 6 hours, including a lunch break.
