Daybreak Trips by Coach
SPRING IS
IN THE AIR!
Welcome to
our Spring Daybreak programme which continues the
tradition of offering daytrips and tours at unbeatable
value for money. All the excursions in this brochure
will be operated by Premier Travel Services Limited or
Millers Coaches; both companies are part of the CHL
Group, which owns Cambridge's Cambus fleet.
WE'RE
PROUD OF OUR TRADITION
Premier was
established in 1936; the Company now offers the highest
standards of coach travel in today's competitive
operating environment. Millers has an enviable
reputation stretching back over the past 20 years,
offering value for money coach services at realistic
prices. We've travelled a long way since our early days
of pre-war seaside trips. Now our fleet of 50 modern
coaches (few are more than five years old) operate
throughout Britain and Europe but we're pleased to
maintain the high standards of quality and service that
were the trademark of our founders nearly sixty years
ago.
EXCLUSIVE
FEATURES
All Daybreak
fares (unless specifically stated otherwise) include
admission charges to the attractions, shows and exhibits
we visit. Many full day scenic tours are accompanied by
a fully trained English Tourist Board 'Blue Badge' guide
or local experienced driver/guide. Some Daybreaks
include lunch or afternoon tea. Compare our admission
inclusive fares and see how much you save. The cheapest
is not necessarily the best and value for money is
guaranteed with Daybreaks. If you compare our bargain
Daybreak fares beware - most of our competitors do not
offer an all inclusive fare.
SEAT
RESERVATIONS
We value the
freedom of choice, so you can choose your seat when you
book. The seat reservation is guaranteed and remains
yours at all times when aboard the coach.
NO
SMOKING COMFORT
With the
comfort of our passengers in mind, coaches on all our
Daybreaks are no smoking throughout. In the interests of
fellow passengers' comfort, we kindly ask that smokers
observe our 'no smoking' policy. On scenic tours and
longer journeys, ample refreshment stops are provided
when, of course, smoking is permitted.
YOUR
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Do I need to
book?
Booking in advance is strongly recommended as all
Daybreak tours are subject to demand. Subject to
availability, stand-by tickets can be purchased from the
driver.
What time
does the coach leave?
The coach departs from Cambridge Drummer Street (Bay 12)
at the time shown. There are many additional joining
points indicated by departure codes in the brochure. If
you are joining at one of our less popular joining
points, you will be advised of your pick up time
(normally by telephone) not less than 48 hours before
departure. In this way, we can minimise the length of
pick-up routes and reduce journey times for the majority
of passengers.
What time do
we get back?
An approximate return time is shown for each excursion.
The times shown serve as a guide, but road conditions
can sometimes cause delay. If your arrival will be later
than advertised, your driver will try to allow for a
telephone call during the return journey.
Where can I
board the coach?
All the Daybreaks in the brochure leave from Cambridge
Drummer Street (Bay 12) at the time shown. Many
Daybreaks offer additional pick-ups for pre-booked
passengers within Cambridge and the surrounding area.
This facility must be requested at the time of booking.
