Midland Red - The Symbol of Service

BUSES FOR BUSINESS - some customer comments

“I am sure that you will agree that the event yesterday at the Cathedral was a great success.  Certainly all the feedback from those who attended clearly emphasises that they enjoyed themselves immensely.

None of this would have been possible without your meticulous planning and expert organisation on the day.  The size of the task was bigger than anything we have ever attempted before and although I am sure that you have had at least a few problems along the way, from a customer perspective, your planning was nothing short of brilliant.

Transport is a vital part of our events and it is always crucial to the success of the event that we get everyone to the event on time and home again after the event.  We are delighted with what you achieved for us. Our grateful thanks to you and all your staff.”

Yours sincerely, JG MD
CCHA - throughout the Midlands area.

 
“On behalf of myself and the committee,  Thank you most sincerely for looking after us all so superbly on our holiday to Weymouth.

Your dedication is really appreciated, and as you know, we have already re-booked your services again for our next tour.”

Yours truly, M.A. Sec.
Bedworth & District Fellowship for the Handicapped. Bedworth.

 
“As Chair of the Steering Group for the City, I am writing to you to express my thanks for your support with this year's event.

Your contribution to the day was gratefully received and I think everyone who saw or took a trip on the bus enjoyed the experience.

The long awaited arrival of Summer last week undoubtedly helped bring out the flowers and a glorious day helped to show the City and its features off to its very best. Comments made by the Judges as we were touring around were very positive.

Once again, Thanks for your contribution and we look forward to working with you again in the future.”

Best regards H.H.
Birmingham City Council.

 
“Many thanks for bringing us all home safely after our Midland Red Christmas holiday. Also thanks for the gifts and Christmas puddings for everyone - I know they were of a good make!

Your Courier was excellent and looked after all of us very well, nothing was too much trouble. The Driver too was excellent. I really enjoyed the tour. All the passengers were very friendly. Everyone was so helpful. The hotel and staff were also very good, and good choice of menu. I don't have a cooked breakfast, but saw what the others had and made an exception!   There was not one complaint - all goes to show how good it was.”

Many thanks again.
Yours sincerely R.T.

RAIL REPLACEMENT SERVICES

We have a range of buses and other coaches with luggage storage which are suited to Railway Replacement Services. We can respond at short notice to fill the needs of urgent replacement buses and coaches for railway emergencies and for pre-planned railway engineering works where road transport is needed.


TOURIST INDUSTRY SERVICES.

Vintage buses and classic coaches are a bit hit with visitors and incoming tourists. We are experienced in operating with on-board guides, and most of our vehicles have PA sound systems. We are keen to be involved in the operation of Heritage Bus Services as partners with Local Authorities and Tourist Boards.   Vintage buses and coaches from our Heritage fleet are most suitable for these services.   WHEELS / Midland Red Coaches also work with Hotels and can produce itineraries and excursions for guests and also provide Hotel Transfers to and from Airports and Railway Stations.  As you would expect from a professional company - our Drivers are "Welcome Host" trained and have smart uniforms.


We can also often provide vehicle with driver to help other bus operators in times of acute shortage.  We are experienced in Local Bus Services as well as Coach Operations, although we normally have an operational radius of around 60 miles from start point.  We will handle all bus and coach work, and we can arrange all inclusive hotel ccommodation, food and entertainment and admissions as necessary.  We also work with other respected names in the bus industry if your booking requires other types of coaches which we consider more suit your needs. We will of course make you aware of any other companies involvement in your travel plans, unless this is made in an emergency.
