**Being a Coach Tour Driver**:
As a Coach tour Driver you will be allocated your own coach once you have completed your initial training and your week will start by operating a feeder route into one of our six interchanges situated throughout the country. You will then board customers for onward travel to resort and are then responsible for the excursions through the week. The importance of the driver to the success of the tour is important so we aim to keep the same driver on the tour with those customers until return to the interchange. You will then be allocated a return feeder route.
