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.

With every New Year comes a resolution. Many may aim to exercise more, learn a new skill, or save money. But when it comes to aiming to minimise our impact on the environment in 2022, then opting for environmentally friendly ways of getting around is a good start.

To make your life a little easier, we’ve put together a list of our favourite scenic routes for you to choose from (or maybe even a tick list for you to complete them all!).
