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?
