It might not be marked with bunting and fireworks, but National Coach Week is here—and at Pegasus Coaches, we’re celebrating in our own way: by doing what we do best—getting school groups safely, smoothly and happily across the Channel and back again.
Because let’s face it: when you’re planning a school trip abroad, the coach company you choose can make or break the whole experience. Thankfully, we’ve been keeping teachers and students smiling on school trips to Europe for years.
Why teachers love travelling with Pegasus
With decades of experience transporting school groups across the UK and into Europe, we understand the unique needs of educational travel. Our qualified and DBS-checked drivers aren’t just behind the wheel—they’re part of the team. It’s why teachers praise Pegasus drivers as being “calm and reassuring,” “a legend,” and “wonderful with both staff and students.”
Consistently rated 5 stars by teachers
Here’s something worth shouting about this National Coach Week: every single Google review we’ve received in the last 12 months has been a full five stars— all from teachers and party leaders who’ve travelled with us recently.
School party leaders praised our friendly, knowledgeable drivers, modern, comfortable coaches, and that all-important feeling of being in safe hands.
“Our driver Darren became a legend—his kindness, patience and humour made long travel days fly by!”
“We always feel in safe hands with Pegasus. Every driver is helpful, professional and brilliant with the kids.”
“Great knowledge of France and our destinations… we felt so well looked after.”
Europe? We’ve got it covered
Planning a trip to France, Germany, Belgium or beyond? You’ll want a coach company that knows the drill.
Our drivers are experts in:
- Ferry and Eurotunnel protocols
- EU customs and passport checks
- European road rules
- Coach parking near major attractions
- The best places to stop for food and loo breaks
“Crossing the Channel with 40 students is no small feat—but Pegasus made it look easy.”
Trusted by schools and tour operators
We’re proud to be the coach partner of choice for Voyager School Travel, and to work with hundreds of UK schools each year. Many of them request the same driver year after year—and we take that as the highest compliment. Because when the coach side of the trip runs smoothly, everything else falls into place.
So here’s to National Coach Week—and to all the brilliant Pegasus drivers helping turn long travel days into the start of a real adventure.
