Lakeside Coaches adds another Volvo B9R bus

Bus & Coach
Ellesmere, Shropshire coach operator Lakeside Coaches has taken delivery of a Volvo B9R coach with Sunsundegui bodywork, taking the total number of Volvos in its fleet to 15.
The new vehicle joins 27 coaches in the Lakeside Coaches fleet, of which more than half are now Volvos. Power comes from Volvo's 9-litre D9B rear engine, offering 380bhp, matched to the I-Shift 12-speed automatic gearbox. "Most of our vehicles are built on the Volvo chassis, so I trust them," explains Neal Hall, Lakeside Coaches' general manager. "I took on a pre-owned Volvo B9R last year, which proved, as Volvo always does, to be powerful, reliable and very fuel efficient," he continues. "So when it came to finding another slightly smaller, flexible vehicle for use as an executive coach, a new B9R seemed to be the obvious choice."
