I’ve been on a lot of memorable journeys, but one that stands out is a coach trip for a group of Chinese Tourists in 2018.

I collected the passengers from Manchester Airport early one cold winter morning and met my guide for the week, "Vikki" (not her real name). I already had the itinerary, so off we went.

Manchester Day

Before the pandemic, I did lots of UK tours with incoming tourists from other countries. My most memorable was a party of literature enthusiasts from Estonia.

Now that we’re in the floral season, it’s the perfect opportunity to soak up the sunshine and explore some of the best botanical spaces in the UK, so take a browse of the best parks and gardens in Manchester that are ideal for green fingers!

Wednesday 16th March 2022 – Cheltenham Day  

Ever wondered what’s it’s like to drive a Bullocks coach? In this brand new series of blogs, we’ll be following Graham, one of our dedicated and long-serving drivers, as he describes his day-to-day work.  

“I’m Graham, and I have worked at Bullocks Coaches since 1987, doing all types of coach driving work from day trips to the seaside, Tours of the Lake District, 5 day Holidays, weekend trips, continental trips, school trips to Chester Zoo, University Field Trips, Football Matches, Blackpool Illuminations Tours and so much more!  

Hi everyone! Graham, one of Bullocks' longstanding coach drivers, here to talk about when I took a party of NHS Staff to London for an Award Winners Cruise and lunch on the River Thames.

We set off early from Manchester Central Hospitals and headed south, down the M6, to London. The passengers were all from various hospitals around Greater Manchester and had been nominated by their Managers for the trip as a reward for doing excellent work during the pandemic. They were all very excited at travelling down to London together, on a luxury Bullocks Coach.
