WITH ARROWLINE MINIBUSES LTD.

REGULAR DAY TRIPS FOR HOME PICK UP AND INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS TO DROP OFF SERVICE Seaside Towns, Market Towns, Gardens, (Door to Door service is only available from postal Shopping Outlets, Museums, Sight Seeing, addresses within Salisbury City Limits) Mystery Tours & many more! (Additional designated pick up points for passengers living outside the City limits to meet the bus) 01722 66 55 44 Whether you’re young or old, whatever your interests are, there will be a Great Day Out for you in this brochure! WHO ARE GREAT DAYS OUT?

Great Days Out is a service operated by Arrowline Minibuses Ltd. We are a Salisbury company operating taxis and 8, 12 & 16 seater minibuses. We have been serving the local area since 2000 and this year we are providing an excursion program for those who enjoy getting out and about, but may not have the means to do so or who wish to have a more social day out with like-minded people with similar interests.

By using 16 seater minibuses we are able to take routes through narrow lanes and roads not accessible to larger buses, enabling you to see more of our beautiful countryside. Once at your destination we can usually drop you right at the door, again not accessible to coaches, also 16 passengers getting on and off is a lot quicker than waiting for 50 or so passengers attempting the same. The vehicles are modern with three point seat belts, low steps and grab-rails for easy access and air-conditioning for passenger comfort.

We offer a door-to-door service, if geographically possible, and achievable within a reasonable time frame, we will pick you up and drop you off at your door. This is a service only available to passengers living within the City limits. For those living further afield we will suggest the nearest pick-up point to your home on our pick-up route where we could meet you, having made your own arrangements to get to that point. (See list below)

The service is for individuals and groups alike. Mums and Dad’s why not take the kids on one of our outings to the seaside? Sons and daughters why not take Mum or Dad out for a change of scenery without you having to drive? We welcome enquiries from WI Groups, Bowling Clubs, Socials Clubs, Church Groups, Sports Clubs and Gardening Clubs. (In fact any group with a common interest)

Why not organise for a loved one a trip down memory lane. We would be happy to quote to provide transport for a day, reliving their memories and visiting the places that hold a special place in their hearts. Although nothing stands still there will be towns, villages or specific places that will still hold precious memories. It may be the house they were born in/grew up in, the park they played in, their school or first place of employment. See the streets they used to play in, the pubs they used to drink in and maybe see faces they haven’t seen for years, you may be able to track down old friends on their behalf. It will be a lifetime of memories rolled into one day. You may wish to do it as a couple reminiscing about where you first met, had your first kiss or dance together, the church you erew married in or your first house together. The list of things and places you may want to do and visit are endless but if we can fit that in to a day to remember for you we will. It may be even more special to share those memories with your children and grandchildren. That will be possible with our mini coaches for up to 16 passengers.
