BUZZLINES has taken the first UK delivery of the latest supersize luxury coach produced by top manufacturer SETRA.

The Kent coach operator, based at Lympe, near Hythe, has bought two of the new single deck 13-metre twin axle coaches, which are built to incorporate high safety and environmental technology and are finished in the distinctive Buzzlines blue livery.

Each coach cost more than £240,000. The second vehicle will be joining the Buzzlines fleet within the next six weeks.

The coaches have been designed to increase space and comfort for passengers with additional leg-room, plus the ability to separate pairs of seats offering passengers more room to move about and take advantage of increased personal space on longer journeys.

Nigel Busbridge, Buzzlines managing director, said: "Our policy is to ensure all our passengers and drivers benefit from the highest specification vehicles on the market and we are continually upgrading our fleet as technology progresses.

"These new coaches are extremely easy to manoeuvre and pleasant to drive.

"High specification vehicles are a hallmark of the service we provide to passengers enjoying holidays and day trips with Buzzlines Travel or hiring our coaches for corporate contracts."
