Returning customer E Coaches of Alfreton, Derbyshire is the proud new owner of this Temsa Opalin 35 Seat Midicoach. Following some recent tender wins after the collapse of Your Bus Kieron found himself with a requirement for a midicoach with more than the normal 33 seats. We had this immaculate little Temsa Opalin available from the Yelloway Coaches fleet which I knew wouldn’t be around for long.

We have recently supplied HM Coaches of Ennis, Co. Clare with this Mercedes Benz Vario Plaxton Cheetah 33 Seat Midicoach.

With a requirement for more seats, but in keeping with the rest of the fleet we sourced this 2007 B12BT 53 Seat T9 Acron from Simonds Coaches in Diss, Norfolk. Following an early start and collection from Stansted proprietor Ciaran Byrne is seen here collecting the coach from Darren prior to the long journey up to Holyhead and the ferry back to Ireland. Within 24 hours of arriving home the coach was heading back to England on what will become a regular journey for her to Old Trafford with Manchester United supporters. Once Ciaran has mourned the loss of his recently sold T9 we hope this one will give him [...]
