The joys of air conditioning
Avoid this kind of situation! All Reliance coaches have sophisticated Climate Control Air Conditioning systems.
Now the Summer heatwave has finally arrived, people of a certain age will remember the days when coaches didn't have sophisticated Climate Control Air Conditioning systems.
It got hot in those old coaches as the sun beat down on their huge, single-glazed, untinted panoramic windows.
With no air conditioning, the summer ventilation option consisted of spring-loaded push-up windows in the roof above the central gangway.
But nowadays you don't have to suffer. Our modern coaches have double-glazed, tinted windows which offer excellent thermal insulation. And sophisticated climate control systems mean that everyone now travels in considerable comfort, whatever the conditions outside.
If you haven't travelled by coach for a while you'll be impressed by how comfortable it is nowadays. Perhaps it's time to give it a try? Things have changed!

People often assume that hiring a coach will be 'too expensive'. But if it's 'too expensive' why do you see so many other groups like yours roaring around the country in luxury coaches? The answer, of course, is that it's probably not as expensive as you imagined!
Once you start using our coaches you'll find it opens up all kinds of possibilities for future trips and exciting events that you might not have considered before. Call us on 01474 322002 for the answers to all your questions, including 'How much does it cost?'.

Getting married? Create order out of chaos!
Luxury coach transfers for your wedding guests create order out of chaos.
If you're getting married this year, now's the time to sort out the logistics.
You can plan it the old way, with scores of guests converging haphazardly on the church, register office and reception venue under their own steam. Or you can plan it the clever way, and provide a luxury private air-conditioned coach service from a convenient central meeting point to the ceremony, then on to the reception and back to the meeting point.
There are so many advantages: everyone arrives in the right place at the right time. No one gets lost. Parking problems are eliminated. Drink-driving is avoided and there is always a happy, party atmosphere amongst the passengers.
Think about it from your guests' perspective. It's no fun turning up at a remote country church in the middle of nowhere and discovering there's only parking for five cars! Town centres, with treacherous one way systems and draconian parking restrictions can be even worse. Then there's the mad dash from the church to the reception with more map-reading trauma and parking nightmares. Be nice to your guests - hire a luxury, air-conditioned coach for them.
By choosing your central meeting point carefully - near a railway station with a public car park, for example - you can make your wedding easily accessible not only to car drivers, but also to guests who don't own cars, or guests who wisely choose not to drink and drive.
Make sure your guests remember your wedding with a smile, not a shudder. Give us a call on 01474 322002 to find out more.

No standing when you commute with Reliance
You won't feel like this on a Reliance commuter coach!
When you commute on one of Reliance Travel's luxury coaches you are guaranteed a seat.
Unlike the trains, standing is not allowed. So once you sit down, you stay sitting down for the entire journey. There's no risk of having to give up your seat to someone in greater need, as often happens on crowded trains.
And because the aisles are not packed with standing commuters, coughing and sniffling and reading your paper over your shoulder, the environment is quieter and less stressful than the train.
That's why we have such a loyal following of clued-up commuters who wouldn't travel any other way.
Isn't it time you made the switch from train to coach?
Try out our service for a week or two and see what you think. You can buy Single tickets or books of 10 Singles direct from the coach driver. For Weekly, Monthly and longer period tickets please contact our office. Full details in our Commuting section, or call our office on 01474 322002.

Why struggle with trains, cars and taxis? A coach almost certainly costs less than you think, too! Find out how little your next trip will cost by calling Reliance Travel on 01474 322002.
