What initially started as an annual coach trip to London at Christmas for friends and colleagues has now become a fulltime occupation for Rachel Tysoe. The Christmas coach trip outings ran from 2009- 2013 when a lady suggested that a coach trip in the summer would be a great idea as well. This took Rachel down memory lane and got her thinking of her childhood trips to the seaside, so in 2014 she organised three of those as well on top of the London trips. Word spread about her enterprise and, in April 2015, Rachel left her job in finance at Kettering General Hospital to concentrate on her coach trip business alongside looking after her young family. Most of Rachel’s trips are generally aimed at families who may struggle to take their families out for the day. The prices are always as low as Rachel can do them and most outings take place in the school holidays. With pick up points from Corby, Desborough, Geddington and Kettering, the trips are also perfect for those without own transport. This year’s trips have included Skegness, Hunstanton, Great Yarmouth, a few theme parks, as well as the Elvis Exhibition the Harry Potter Studio Tours in London. Looking ahead to the winter months, Rachel is planning the following trips below. Please see the website for full details and departure times.
