Rosemary54 Posted June 22 #1 Share Posted June 22 We are going on the coach in August from Chester services and have not done this before. Does anyone know what time the pick up is and how long it takes please. We will not know until 3 weeks before and I need to book a taxi. Thanks.

FangedRose Posted June 22 #2 Share Posted June 22 Pick up from Carlisle is usually 5am. So I would imagine it would be 7am or 7.30am. I would have thought that three weeks is more than ample time to book a taxi as I have never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halpincat Posted June 23 #3 Share Posted June 23 Departure from Abergele, North Wales is (usually) 07.15 and we occasionally make a couple of quick stops just off the A55. I’ve never taken note of our arrival time at Chester but would guess it’s around 08.00. I suppose it depends where the coach has come from.

Rare david63 Posted June 23 #4 Share Posted June 23 Why not ask the coach company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The route, therefore timings, cannot be confirmed until they know how many passengers are wanting to use the service and, where they want picking up. Bookings can ge taken up to 35 days before departure so nothing can be confirmed until after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangedRose Posted June 23 #7 Share Posted June 23 It is not a timetabled service like a train which will run a predetermined route at a fixed time. It is more like a charter which will change timings and route according to the passenger numbers etc. So until all bookings are made 35 days prior to departure nothing can be confirmed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
