Post by The Quattro » Wed Dec 12, 2018 10:30 am

As above really... has anybody heard of or used this company for away travel? Just interested in hearing of people’s experiences.

I haven't used them but they have a Facebook page with videos of the coach showing all it's facilities etc. and a site with prices.

I’ve heard that they have cancelled this weekends trip to Spurs

(I think it’s the same company)

Heard they had cancelled, if true and the refund takes 10 days and no other method of transport offered I imagine it will be the end for this experience. Unless they tell everyone who books they aren't guaranteed to set off when booking.

I had booked on for Saturday but it was cancelled last Sunday. Driving down with 3 others now instead. Will see if the refund materialises.

Just the name alone sounds ****.

Get on the train with a couple of beers, get in a good pub for 12.00, roll on the ground about 2.55, pie at half time, couple of hours in the pub after the game, train home, pint if there's time and a kebab.

Proper away day.

It's a bit expensive for anything other than a one off.

The down turn in the teams fortunes and 3 London trips (the most likely for anyone to book with) all together just before Xmas. It hasn't worked out well for them.

Obviously not enough booked to do Spurs but most busineess's would still run when starting up in a bid to build it up.

I'm told it is not the first time they've cancelled. Have they actually run any yet?

West Ham were supposed to be the first, so unless they did Leicester or Palace then no.

Certainly didn't see them at West Ham or Palace but not surprising seeing as their price was £69! Don't know if they did Leicester.

Can confirm the refund has come back to my account. So does anyone know if they've actually run yet?

My experience of them managing the cancellation to Spurs was first class they'd attempted to get hold of me several times (I'd been working) they explained the situation and offered assistance in finding alternative transport to the game. Refund, said it would be 10 days but was back in my account within two days. I would use them again in they continue to trade.

Can't see them trading much if they cancel every trip 6 days before the game.

They sound like a bunch of cowboys.
