hi sarah, no i worked for National Travel east, which was Sheffield United Tours, this was my first overseas tour, i was number 2 driver, there were 9 coaches set off for spain, 8 coaches did not pick up a travel permit on the french/spainish boarder, these were impounded upon arrival at resort, i did collect a permit and was kept very busy doing the work of the other 8 coaches,happy days, george

thank you travelagent, i was begining to think that i imagined them, i have just returned from salou and could`nt find the hotel that we used, when marina went bust, we got kicked out of the hotel one day earlier and had to find our way home, it was my first tour abroad.

dafydd is corect,i spent over 40 years onthe bus`s and its a great life,although retired, i still work P/T doing british tours, i have driven to some fabulas countries while on the job and whats better, i was paid for doing so, how can you beat that, still looking for drivers who worked for national travel east during the 80`s, our depot was charlotte rd sheffield, good luck if you decide to have a go, george
