Scania unveils its replacement for the OmniExpress, the Interlink. Deliveries of two and three-axle variants of the mid-range coach are expected from early 2017, but enhancements over the outgoing model have prompted the first confirmed buyers, Astons Coaches and JH Coaches.

Essential reading How you can lobby politicians for investment in buses

Mayor of London wants to bring forward proposals for tighter emissions controls. Views are being sought on a London-wide scheme for coaches, buses and trucks in three rather than four years.

How do you solve a problem like Swindon? The town has grown rapidly over the last 10 years, but with commuters driving in and more commuters driving out, it’s been no picnic for bus operator Thamesdown. However, plans for the next 10 years look set to change how Swindon works.

MAN launched the new-look Neoplan Tourliner at Hanover’s IAA show. The right-hand drive version will come to the UK in time for the Coach Rally in April 2017, bringing with it new options and efficiencies that demonstrate a commitment to coach operators in this country, MAN says

Henshaw’s Executive Travel is investing in the future of its business. Over the last 12 months
the operator has spent £1.5m on facilities, fleet improvement and people development, a decision that is paying off. Two new Plaxtons have recently arrived: A Panther and a Cheetah XL midi.

Competition means that it’s a buyers’ market for coaches at the moment. There are some attractive, capable and reasonably-priced models available, and Temsa’s DAF-engine Safari HD is one of them. It looks good on paper, but will it cut the mustard at Millbrook?

Every business has got a story to tell. Some of the most admired operators have got where they are by making all staff feel like they’re part of the narrative, and that’s what marketing guru Chloe Leach O’Connell hopes to bring to more operators as she opens her consultancy this week.

Tyres Coaches of Chorley’s success in recent years is down to its fantastic culture. This is an operator that gives every member of staff an NVQ, spends tens of thousands of pounds every year on uniform, and makes every effort to empower staff to make their own decisions.

There’s a new bus in the UK, and it’s from Yutong. The Chinese manufacturer has already seen good success here with its two coach models, and the CB12 bus promises more of the same – with an unusual ‘delete what you don’t want’ spec method. We visit dealer Pelican for a test drive.

Kimbolton’s coach n’ veg man

If you’re a rural operator with premises, you might think a bit differently about growth. That’s what Charles Robinson did. 

The coach side was never going to get bigger, but an approach from Budgens supermarket put a new string to the operator’s bow – and it’s been a great success. 

Want to earn your stripes?

If you do, you could become one of an elite band of operators. The DVSA proposes new ‘high status’ for the most compliant through its Earned Recognition scheme. It means you’ll never have a roadside check again, providing you meet high standards and allow DVSA to see all your data.
