Student Tracker System

Did you know you can track your pupils or students using Coach Direct’s innovative technology?

Using smart code technology, Coach Direct now offers an optional tracking service to schools that enables every child to be checked on and off our vehicles quickly and efficiently for every trip. By using a scanner at the point of entry to scan a barcode unique to every pupil, this is a failsafe method of ensuring that every child is present prior to a journey commencing. The code can be incorporated on items such as a bus pass or the school’s security ID pass. Gone are the days of attempting a headcount of thirty excited and mobile children to check all are present and correct!

We hope you all have a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year.

To advise you that all the staff and students at Ravensbourne College who went on the Kew and Dungeness trips on October 31st and November 2nd wish to thank Coach Direct for the great service provided. It was mentioned in the Foundation Course Staff meeting and I thought you would appreciate the thanks.

The University of Southern Mississippi's British Studies Program, one of the largest American summer schools in Britain, has been dealing with Coach Direct since 2001. We have found them to be reliable and adaptable to our needs. We appreciate the range of coach and minibus sizes available, which we could not get from a normal coach operator, and the facility to hire coaches in Scotland and the West Country as well from our base in London. Safety and risk assessment are a particular concern with student groups and Coach Directs Code of Safety Practice provides us with the assurances we need with regard to coach travel.

Managing to transport 1500 pupils and staff from Mill Hill School, in North London, to St Paul's Cathedral was not a task that we wished to tackle alone. We approached several companies and Coach Direct stood out due to their knowledge and experience of organising the transportation of large numbers of people to prestige events.
