Information about the service

Carvers Coaches currently operate this route using luxury coaches. The coaches are fitted with seat belts and have CCTV installed which is routinely recorded for the safety and security of students and drivers. All drivers are required to hold a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
