"Our band has been using Barnes Coaches for years. As a very loyal customer, we had a great journey to Newport for the Welsh Open Brass Band Contest, but were less than impressed that the driver couldn’t wait an extra 10 minutes to allow us to stay for the results. We finished with a selection of prizes and felt shortchanged as we couldn’t all be there to collect them in person. We’ve always booked with Barnes Coaches as we like the fact they understand brass bands (with ‘banders’ as owners) and the way in which they work in contest days. We really hope that this doesn’t happen again."
Would they recommend: Yes

"Hi, I am really sorry this has happened. We are fully aware that Brass Band Contest's don't always run to time and can only apologise that there wasn't more flexibility on this occassion. I have looked at the driver's hours for the day in question and he would have been close to his legal driving limit for the day but I appreciate this would have disrupted the end of your day, for which I can only apologise. I will always try to ensure in the future that we build in a contignecy plan if this happens again. Thanks."
