Two new coaches for this year. These are two of the last B12M's to be made, and have Euro 5 emissions standard. Both coaches are also fitted with 'all age' 3-point seatbelts.

The second being a new 59 seater 12.9 metre long vehicle. Which despite having this high capacity now affords the passenger the same leg room as one of our 49 or 53 seater touring coaches. This coach has 59 reclining seats with leather head rests, individual armrests and 'all age' 3-point seat belts, CD player, and air conditioning.

2007: New Midi Coaches

We have taken delivery of 2 further brand new coaches this year, bringing this years total four new deliveries. This is due to the combined continued demand for our services and our constant striving to maintain our fleet, which is probably the most modern for a fifty mile radius of our our main operations centre in Ellesmere.

These two latest vehicles to arrive are for our midi coach fleet. They are in addition to the two full size touring coaches which arrived earlier in the year.

Coach

The first is a familiar model to us, this a 26 seat Caetano Optimo, of which we already we have an identical model bearing a 54 plate, this new vehicle has a 57 registration. The second vehicle is a Mercedes Sitcar Beluga which has 29 seats and is air conditioned. These vehicles are proving very useful additions to our coach fleet. These vehicles ensure we can offer our customers best service and value for money by having 9 different sizes of vehicles available in our 20 coach fleet.

2007 Fleet Updates: New Touring Season Upgrades

As is usual we have taken delivery of two more brand new front line vehicles ready for the 2007 busy touring season. This brings the number of new vehicles delivered in the last 18 months to 6.

Both vehicles are fully air conditioned, resulting in half our fleet now having this facility, depsite it being a very expensive optional extra (somewhere in the region of a small brand new family car, each!). The vehicles are equipped to our own high specification; the first vehicle being a 49 seater executive with toilet, refigerator etc. The second being a new 59 seater 12.9 metre long vehicle, which is the longest coach in the fleet. Which despite having this high capacity now affords the passenger the same leg room as one of our 49 or 53 seater touring coaches.

Coach

Another first is that both coaches have their gearchange controlled by the revolutionary i-Shift gearbox, this gives the driver the option to leave the gear change to a fully automatic gearbox or they can drive the vehicle in the fashion of a traditional manual gearbox, using the joystick provided. This coupled to the powerful 420bhp Volvo B12M engine, which we have been trialling since 2003, provides improved fuel efficiency and hence with it the enviornmental benefits that brings.
