Coach Trip (series 7)
Coach Trip 7 was the seventh series of Coach Trip in the United Kingdom. It was filmed from May until June 2011 (after the UK anti-austerity protests began) and aired from 29 August to 7 October 2011. The length of this series was the same as the previous non-celebrity series but with weekends excluded. The tour began in the UK, before moving to France, Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic plus for the first time ever Poland and Slovakia. Tour guide Brendan Sheerin, coach driver Paul Donald, narrator Dave Vitty and the coach with registration number MT09 MTT all returned for this series, which was aired on Channel 4 with the airing time reverted to 5:00pm, a similar start to series 1 and a similar end to series 3.

Notes
- ^1 On Day 1, Brendan instated an opening voting rule - on vote time the couple who received the most votes would get an immediate red card without entering mainland Europe, this happened to be Laura & Mark making them join Delia & Jacqui of series 3 to the shortest stay records.
- ^2 Tony & Wolfy were removed with a red card on Day 7 for inappropriate behaviour during the previous night, including being very loud and drunk and disturbing other tourists in the hotel previously held by Alan & Lorenzo of series 2 and Jasmine & Rara of series 6.
- ^3 Frankie & Alice walked at the start of Day 8 in protest because Wolfy and Tony were unfairly red carded.
