Shearings doubles new coach fleet

Shearings Group is doubling its fleet of new coaches at a cost £10 million.
 
The new order for 45 Setra coaches is the second major investment from the operator this year, following the purchase of another 45 vehicles in April.
 
Thirty of the new vehicles are 13.2m long which allows for increased luggage, higher passenger numbers and a more comfortable journey. Twenty of these Shearings coaches have 52 seats, while 10 Grand Tourer coaches have 48 seats, allowing for increased legroom.
 
Subsidiary National Holidays is adding 15 coaches which carry 48 passengers. 
 
The new fleet is being brought in to cope with increased demand for coach holidays and better cater for the group’s expanding European offerings.
 
Shearings chief executive Denis Wormwell said: “We have been delighted with the coaches delivered earlier this year. By investing in this new fleet of 45 Setra coaches, our aim is to provide an even more pleasurable experience for our customers as well as continuing to develop our coach offering across the group.
 
“The new vehicles are amongst the newest and greenest in the UK, and, by carrying more people per journey we are reducing overall emissions.
 
“We are also happy to be making another major investment in a key asset in the current economy, sending out a strong message about the group’s ongoing success.”
