We pick up from door to door!

We have a programme of trips each month, you can join our mailing list to be sent them each month, or grab a list when you travel on the bus to make sure you can access our outings. We can even discuss them on the phone with you.

We travel to local pubs, garden centres and other local attractions and we do some trips further afield too. The lunches are a great way to have a lovely meal with other people and passengers enjoy getting some new plants from the garden centres.

We’re always open to suggestions for our next trip.

The fares are affordable and we can take your wheelchair or scooter too!
