We have recently received reports of students va**ng while travelling on our school coaches.

We would appreciate your support in reminding your child that va**ng is not permitted on any of our school transport. Clear signs are displayed on the coaches and we have strict policies in place to ensure that all students can travel in a safe, comfortable and respectful environment.

Please be aware that any student found va**ng on a school coach will be banned from using the coach service. We hope that, by working together, we can prevent any further incidents and ensure that our transport remains a safe environment for everyone.

We kindly ask that you take a few moments to speak with your child about this matter and reinforce the importance of following the rules when travelling to and from school.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and cooperation. We really appreciate your help in ensuring that all students can travel safely and responsibly.

Throwback!

Then and now 🚌

From one of our first Irving of Dalston minibuses to our newer executive coach — it’s lovely to look back and see just how far we’ve come.

A lot has changed over the years, but one thing has always stayed the same: we’re proud to be a local, family-run business, helping people travel safely and comfortably wherever they need to go.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years — here’s to many more miles ahead!

We currently have a power cut in our area, which means we are temporarily without phone lines and access to our emails.

We’ve been advised that the estimated downtime is around 3 hours.

Please bear with us while this is resolved. We’ll respond to any calls and emails as soon as our systems are back up and running.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

🚸Route IOD04 The Nelson Thomlinson School

This message affects those from Baldwinholme who travel on the above route.

As you may know, there will be a road closure with no access from Monday 14th September for approximately five days.

Unfortunately, this means we will be unable to collect children from Baldwinholme Road ends during this period.

Could parents please arrange for their children to be at The Green, Great Orton, by 8:15 a.m. so that they can be collected from there.

Children will also be dropped off at The Green, Great Orton, in the evening.

We appreciate that this may be less convenient, but The Green is the safest suitable stop during the road closure.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and greatly appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
