Barnes Coaches

"Thursday 13th day trip to London zoo Over all the journey was very bumpy and uncomfortable the driver kept braking like he wasn’t playing attention and all over the place on the motorway, over the solid white Rumble line to the left and the next lane on the right. The driver himself was very pleasant and well dressed however could have been more professional when giving the safety speech and on the return journey done up his top 2 buttons and put on his tie. Finally the coach was very clean and fresh however the arm rests on the aisle seats pinch in whatever position you put them in and feel like the seats are made for children rather than all shapes and sized adults and something on the coach was squeaking constantly towards the rear of the centre. Also the driver told us as we got off that he would be picking us up at the same location or near to there but instead he has parked in a different location and sent one of the passengers (all be it Barnes Staff) to collect us on foot and walk us to the coach. One of the other passengers obviously struggled to walk the distance as was out of breath and had to stop during the walk on multiple occasions. This was our first time travelling with Barnes we will try it again but if we have the same treatment again that will be our final time which will be a shame as we’ve heard such great things"

Drivers fully aware of social distancing, sanitizer available for use. This company surely has gone to great lengths to protect staff and passengers and I would not hesitate to use again. Many Thanks for a quick 1st class service."

"We went on the Highclere Castle trip yesterday . Iwe found it very tiring .After being picked up at 9.15 .then going to Newbury ..and staying there for 2 and a half hours .then going on to Highclere .was far too much . We wouldn't do that trip again not unless we went straight to Highclere . Quite a few travelles thought the same . We didn't really see the point of being picked up so early ."
