🚌🌍 It’s been another busy day at Grindles! 🌍🚌

As if this week wasn’t busy enough already, today we’ve waved off four of our coaches as they begin the journey to Lourdes, France, supporting the Arundel & Brighton Diocese on their annual pilgrimage.

Our coaches collected passengers this afternoon before making their way to Folkestone Services, where the main drivers took over for the journey ahead.

The coaches are now waiting dockside in Dover for their ferry crossing to Calais, before travelling through the night towards Lourdes.

It’s always a privilege to play a small part in such an important annual pilgrimage, and we’d like to wish everyone travelling a safe, comfortable and enjoyable journey.

A huge thank you also goes to all of our drivers and support staff working behind the scenes to make trips like this run smoothly. We hope everyone has a wonderful time, and we look forward to welcoming you all home next week. 🇬🇧⛴️🇫🇷

Safe travels to everyone on board! 💙

🎉🚌 Tuesday really was a day that just kept giving! 🚌🎉

A huge congratulations to James Gibbs, who has successfully passed his Category D PCV driving test! 👏

Passing his Category D licence means James is now qualified to drive our coaches and minibuses, and we’re delighted to welcome him to the Grindles driving team.

Gaining a PCV licence is no small achievement. It takes commitment, hard work and plenty of dedication, so James should be incredibly proud of what he’s accomplished.

And as if passing his test wasn’t enough to celebrate… today (Thursday) is James’ 33rd birthday! 🎂🥳

So, from everyone at Grindles, we’d like to wish James a very Happy Birthday and congratulate him on this fantastic milestone. We look forward to seeing him out on the road and wish him every success in his new role.

Welcome to the team, James! 🚍💙
