🚌 PAST LIVES | P20 MKT

Every vehicle has a story.

From Scottish Citylink work between Edinburgh and Glasgow to a new chapter with Mil-Ken Travel, P20 MKT has already enjoyed quite a journey.

This distinctive double-decker coach has spent its working life carrying passengers across some very different parts of the country β€” and along the way, it's even carried a registration with a bit of history of its own.

Now it's found its way to a new home and a new chapter. But just how did this Volvo B11RLE Plaxton Panorama get here?

Take a look through this week's fact sheet and discover the past life of P20 MKT.

One vehicle. Several chapters. One story worth remembering.

πŸ“– This is its story.

πŸ† What a day at the Big Bus Show! 🚌

After taking home Best Coach in Show last year, we came back bigger and better this year with FOUR vehicles on display!

Sadly, we didn’t manage to retain the title this time around, but that certainly didn’t stop us from having an incredible day. ❀️

We had the pleasure of speaking to so many people throughout the day, and it was fantastic to see so many of you coming over to chat with the team, ask questions and take a look around our vehicles. We take huge pride in what we do, so being able to show off our vehicles and share that passion with you all is what these events are all about!

A massive thank you to our brilliant drivers Ben, Dan, Dean & Katie, who not only drove the vehicles to the show but also spent the whole day with us. We couldn't have done it without you! πŸ‘

And a special thank you to Kayla & Kate, who joined us for the day and captured SO many fantastic photos! πŸ“Έ There are plenty more to come throughout the week, so keep your eyes peeled!

We may not have brought the trophy home this year... but we're already planning our comeback. πŸ˜‰

We'll be back next year β€” and we're coming for that title! πŸ†πŸ”₯

We've got more vehicles, more of the team, and we're ready for an incredible weekend at the show!

If you're attending, make sure you come and find us. We'd love to chat, show you around our fleet, and catch up with customers, friends, and fellow enthusiasts. Whether you've supported us for years or are just discovering what we do, be sure to stop by and say hello!

Wish us luck as we go for back-to-back Best Company Coach! πŸ€žπŸ†

We were proud to support Millfield School on their recent fundraising trip to Snowdon by providing the coach and our driver, Dave.

β˜€οΈ A little note about coach air conditioning during very hot weather…

We know that when the temperature rises, everyone wants to step onto a lovely cool coach β€” and we completely understand why!

Our coaches are fitted with air conditioning, with systems regularly serviced and maintained. However, when temperatures become particularly extreme, there are limits to how much cooling any air-conditioning system can achieve.

A coach is a much bigger space than a car, with large windows, plenty of sunshine coming in, doors opening and closing throughout the day and around 70 passengers on board. That is a lot of warmth for the system to work against!

On the hottest days, the air conditioning is working incredibly hard, but it may not always feel as cool as you would expect in a smaller vehicle. It can also take a little time to bring the temperature down after a coach has been parked in the sun or once everyone has boarded.

Please be assured that our drivers and team are doing everything they can to keep journeys as comfortable as possible. They are feeling the heat too, especially after a full day behind the wheel, so we are always grateful for a little patience and kindness during a heatwave.

If you have any concerns about how the hot weather may affect an upcoming trip, please contact our office as soon as possible. This gives us the best opportunity to talk through any concerns and support you where we can.

Thank you for travelling with us. Stay hydrated, take a cold drink where possible, and please be kind to your driver! πŸšŒβ˜€οΈ

A big thank you to Cambridgeshire ACRE and Cadent πŸ’™

We’re really pleased to be able to begin handing out their generously gifted slow cookers and recipe books to our team, thanks to their kind support.

As a local, family run business, we know how busy life can be - long days mean it’s not always easy to get a good meal in the table. These slow cookers are a simple but brilliant want to make life that little bit easier, helping our staff save money, time, and still enjoy a hot, home-cooked meal at the end of the day.

They’re also incredibly energy efficient - costing as little as ~15-30p per meal, compared to much more when using a conventional oven - which makes a real difference.

And they’re not just for winter either - there are loads of easy, light recipes prefect for this time of year too!

We’re really grateful to Cambridgeshire ACRE and Cadent for thinking of our community and helping support our staff in side a practical way - it’s very much appreciated ☺️
