Further New Coaches & Investment
September 23, 2016 by Ridleys Coaches36Coaches
These 2 new Plaxton Panther B 11 R Executive coaches arrived with us September, these are 63 seat coaches complete with on-board toilet. This takes the total investment to be in excess of 2 million pounds in the last 18 months with us adding to, upgrading & modernising our fleet.
With the demand from the school sector for larger capacity coaches we have responded positively by taking a further two 49 seat coaches have had them up-seated to 70 taking the total amount of 70 seat vehicles to 11 (which includes 4 double decker’s).
Due to this increase in our fleet, and the addition of extra school contracts from Princethorpe college & Warwickshire County Council we have taken on a number of new experienced drivers.
During the summer Arriva trains contracted us to work in partnership with them as part of their rail replacement programme which proved to be very successful and lead to very positive feedback for our team.
