4. Local Pick-up
Points
Feeder Services
For all tours (except those described on page 12)
clients are conveyed by feeder services between
their joining point and Durham Services at
Bowburn on the A1(M).
Approximate timings are as follows:
Outward: 9:15am Return:5.00pm
Pick up times are finalised 14 days prior to
departure and will be indicated on your travel
ticket. Clients booking less than 14 days prior to
departure may be offered a restricted choice of
pick up points.
Choosing Your Joining Point
Please consider the relative locations of your
joining point, the interchange and your eventual
destination. It is possible to get from all joining
points to all destinations but some combinations
are not advisable. For example, we do not
recommend anyone living north of Newcastle
using the feeder system to travel to Scotland
because the feeder journey takes you first to
Bowburn before returning north again.
Please note: The feeder coach may not
necessarily show the destination to which you
are travelling – please check with driver.
On some occasions taxis may be used to provide
the feeder service from some points.

The idea of these Festive Specials is that you get into the feeling of Christmas, relaxing and enjoying good food and entertainment. The bonus is that because it is not quite
Christmas, our entertainment and labour costs are much lower and we are able to pass this on in the form of significantly lower prices. The New Year Specials represent a truly
exceptional bargain - only 3 nights before the actual New Year, yet priced at little more than half the cost!
