Denmark Road Service

May 23rd, 2011

We would like parents to know that sometimes we may need to transfer the pupils from Denmark Road to Sir Thomas Rich’s School so that they can connect with their correct coach. This may happen on an infrequent basis due to a coach running late or due to bad weather. This would entail the pupils boarding a different Bennetts Coaches to the usual one, however they will then be transported home accordingly.

If you have any questions relating to this and the circumstances that it may apply to please contact us on 01452-527809 or via e-mail at info@bennettscoaches.co.uk

April 6th, 2011

This is to ensure that the pupils can be taken home at the earlier times.  We will be happy to run a later bus at the normal times should any parent not be content with this arrangement.

Should you have any questions relating to this matter please feel free to contact us on 01452-527809, e-mail info@bennettscoaches.co.uk.
