    We want to make sure everyone knows about our Ring and Ride service, we know some people only use one of our services so it would be great to know why, and if we could do more to help. It should only take 5 minutes:

  • 2026 Further Afield Trips

    2026 Further Afield Trips

    We are pleased to share this year’s programme of our further afield trips!

    We now fund these ourselves, so the fares are set at £14 with a bus pass (£16 for non-bus pass holders).

    We will endeavour to get every passenger onto at least one trip, we want to make it as fair as possible.

    We will have two buses for each trip, so we will have buses collecting in different areas, but you can meet up with friends when you arrive. If we have more people booking, we will always try to get a 3rd or 4th bus too.

    The busier these trips get, the easier it is for us to arrange the pick ups so please tell your friends!


    These are designed to be Days Out! Generally passengers can choose what they want to do at each destination but if you want some help booking somewhere to eat we’re more than happy to help.

    We also try to vary the trips so there is something for everyone and all abilities.

    Give us a call on 01454 228706 to book or you can email us at admin@greencommunitytravel.co.uk
