Coach Trip
Encyclopedia
Coach Trip is a reality
show that was broadcast on Channel 4
with More4
and Pick TV showing repeats since 7 March 2005. The programme returned on 25 May 2009. The show's format consists of 4 to 7 teams of 2 undertaking a coach tour principally of continental Europe
(but with individual series including sojourns into North Africa
and Western Asia). The tours have usually lasted 30 or 50 days (Celebrity Series tours have usually lasted 10 days), with passengers remaining on the tour only until they are ejected by their companions to be replaced by a new couple. The travellers are accompanied by tour guide Brendan Sheerin
.
On day 19 of series 2 the voting rules were amended once after revealing the quiz winners and losers so contestants cannot vote for the winning couple and the losing couple loses the chance to cast votes against others. Also on day 24 of series 3 and day 25 of series 6 the voting rules were amended once after the announcement about the red terror which also returned from day 5 to day 9 of celebrity coach trip, whoever receives the most votes will automatically be given a red card. This regards of which couple who already got a yellow card or not. Also from day 2 of series 5 the voting rules were amended so contestants cannot vote for the couple who got a yellow card the previous day. The newest rule to the voting system that's yet to happen will be contestants who did not receive any votes at all the previous day loses the chance to cast votes against others the following day and another that's yet to happen will be contestants who were disqualified from the activity loses the chance to cast votes against others and another that's yet to happen will also be that the contestants cannot vote for the couple who got a yellow card for timekeeping from the following morning.
If Brendan thinks that the couple canvass for votes, overtake the previous vote, instigate a fight at the vote or shows inappropriate sexual behaviour they will automatically receive a red card and the vote will either begin or continue without them.
5 couples became the new minimum of who to vote for who receives the penalty cards.
On Day 17 of Series 1 and Day 19 of Series 3 Brendan decided to skip the vote due to shortages of couples.
Also, on Day 21 of Series 2, the vote was suspended due to the contestants learning of the 7 July 2005 London bombings
.
The final vote is usually altered on day 10 of 10, day 15 of 15, day 29 of 30 and day 49 of 50; this normally results in the couples on board voting for who they want to receive a prize rather than the penalty cards.
The first coach 'T100 MTT' is a Volvo B10M
with Jonckheere
Mistral 50 bodywork.
The coach 'MT04 MTT' arrived in Central London to be supplied by Motts travel. It is a Volvo B12B
with Plaxton Panther bodywork.
The coach 'MT09 MTT', also a Volvo B12B/Plaxton Panther, is supplied by Motts travel based in Aylesbury, Bucks.
The newest coach 'MT61 MTT' will be introduced by Motts travel by 1 September 2011 according to the DVLA and will be used for future series of Coach Trip.
Weather conditions in each series are variously chosen to forecast depending where the coach trip goes to and from for 10, 15, 30 or 50 days.
Here is a list of the locations the coach trip started from for some first destinations and yet to start from for other first destinations in each series.

Voting system
Unlike most coach trips the passengers vote for who they don't like travelling with at the end of each day. Whoever gets the most votes is awarded a yellow card, if they are voted for again they receive a red card and are sent home to be replaced by a new pair. Yellow cards have been occasionally awarded to couples due to timekeeping issues; Red cards have also been presented to couples on occasion, although when this is done it is normally the result of certain travellers' bad behaviour or canvassing for votes.On day 19 of series 2 the voting rules were amended once after revealing the quiz winners and losers so contestants cannot vote for the winning couple and the losing couple loses the chance to cast votes against others. Also on day 24 of series 3 and day 25 of series 6 the voting rules were amended once after the announcement about the red terror which also returned from day 5 to day 9 of celebrity coach trip, whoever receives the most votes will automatically be given a red card. This regards of which couple who already got a yellow card or not. Also from day 2 of series 5 the voting rules were amended so contestants cannot vote for the couple who got a yellow card the previous day. The newest rule to the voting system that's yet to happen will be contestants who did not receive any votes at all the previous day loses the chance to cast votes against others the following day and another that's yet to happen will be contestants who were disqualified from the activity loses the chance to cast votes against others and another that's yet to happen will also be that the contestants cannot vote for the couple who got a yellow card for timekeeping from the following morning.
If Brendan thinks that the couple canvass for votes, overtake the previous vote, instigate a fight at the vote or shows inappropriate sexual behaviour they will automatically receive a red card and the vote will either begin or continue without them.
Voting alterations
Votes have occasionally been altered to accommodate for a lack of couples like 8 or 10 passengers on board the coach or for other reasons; On Day 4 of Series 2 the vote was changed after first John & Irene's early departure due to their ill health then Paul & Heidi receiving a red card later at the previous day's vote and on Day 14 of Series 2 the vote was changed again after first Clare and Kat received a red card at the previous day's vote then Alan & Lorenzo refused to get out of bed followed by stationary traffic with an accident in front and on Day 12 of Series 4 the vote was also changed after a fight had broken out on board the coach between Bruce & Jon and Tam & Jayson before new couple Mark & Mary arrived, this normally results in the couples on board voting for who they want to receive a treat rather than the penalty cards. Introduced by July 2010July 2010

On Day 17 of Series 1 and Day 19 of Series 3 Brendan decided to skip the vote due to shortages of couples.

The final vote is usually altered on day 10 of 10, day 15 of 15, day 29 of 30 and day 49 of 50; this normally results in the couples on board voting for who they want to receive a prize rather than the penalty cards.
