"We used Barnes for two consecutive days over the weekend for our athletics club. Both journeys were perfectly smooth and timed. Both drivers were great but Colin went the extra mile - giving everyone plenty of information and cheering us all up despite the early start."

"Although initially our driver was a little grumpy (I understand he was given the job last minute) he was great through the rest of the weekend. The journeys were uneventful and the coach was spotless as usual. We always use Barnes for any band event."

"Hi Claudia, sorry to hear that the driver was slightly grumpy to begin with. I had spoken to him earlier that day and he was fine so I will talk to him and find out why this was. Thanks, Luke"

"The coach arrived on time, as always it was clean and comfortable. I always request Keith to drive us, he gives a lovely safety speech when everyone is on board. We travelled to Abba Voyage Arena, Keith got us in plenty of time. I always request Keith, as he has a high standard of driving skills, he is always helpful and polite, and he has a good sense of humour.. I have been booking Barnes Coaches for many trips over since 1991, and have no wish to use another company. 10 out of 10 to all Staff, employed by Barnes Coaches."

"Organised an airport run for a group of 8 lads for a stag do, highly recommend barnes as a company, from start to finish service was excellent. Booking was straight forward and good communication from the off, both drivers there and back were excellent with us and both up for a laugh. Ended up with a larger bus on the way out with more space which we weren’t expecting and was an added bonus. Highly recommend barnes for any of your travel needs"
