Are there coach holidays that leave from Motherwell?

Yes. White Bus Scotland runs coach holidays out of Motherwell, leaving at 10am, with the hotel, the meals and the touring arranged as one price. They run from a single night away to five days, on dinner, bed and breakfast, and prices start at £139 per person based on two sharing. A deposit holds your seat when you book online, then someone from the office rings you to sort your room and settle the balance. Home pickup and return is free for ML1 postcodes and included in the price; outwith ML1 there is a small surcharge, and the office tells you the price when they call.

Where it leaves from

Every holiday departs Motherwell at 10am. That is one departure point, not the six-town run the gig coaches and day trips use, because a holiday coach loads luggage and leaves together.

Home pickup and return is free for ML1 postcodes and included in the price: one of White Bus's own drivers collects you from your door and takes you to the coach at the shop. Outwith ML1 there is a small surcharge for the pickup and return, and the office tells you the price when they call. Your postcode is taken when you book.

What is coming up

Short breaks and five-day tours, from the York Christmas market weekend in November to Fort William in April. Every one of them is listed with its dates, its hotel, its price and its deposit on the coach holidays page, and that list comes straight from the booking system, so it is the one to trust.

The holidays are small. One coach goes, and when the seats are gone they are gone, so the ones people ask about tend to fill before they are advertised anywhere.

How you pay

You pay a deposit online, £25 on the short breaks and £50 on the five-day tours, and that holds your seat. Online bookings carry a small booking fee which is itemised before you pay. Book in the shop in Motherwell instead and you pay the deposit as listed.

The balance is not taken by the website. The office calls you, goes through the room, any supplement and the rest of the money on the phone, so nobody is picking room types off a screen.
