More of the same for Selwyns’ coaches 03 May 2011

North-west coach operator Selwyns Travel has taken delivery of a repeat order of Plaxton's flagship Elite vehicle.

The company took four 12.6m coaches based on Volvo B9R chassis, following seven similar vehicles delivered last year. All are operating on National Express contracts.

Its two orders for Elites mark Selwyns' biggest single investment in new coaches in recent years and its first new full-size Plaxtons since two Excaliburs in 1998.

Selwyns Travel managing director Selwyn Jones says: "The Elite B9R combination was the winner for a number of reasons, including its style, quality and fuel efficiency.

"Our experience with our initial seven coaches last year was such that we had no hesitation in placing a repeat order."
