Historical

Last year, Edwards Coaches invested just under £1 million on three brand new executive Setra Tri Axle Coaches, and the investment has been well worth it to secure 4 awards within two days of receiving the brand new coach from manufacturers, Setra. Each of the coach is 13 metres in length, 1 metre longer than the standard executive coach, however they are still fitted with only 49 seats, allowing extra legroom for passengers to travel in comfort. Each coach is fitted with WC, hot and cold drinks facilities, reclining seats, first class padded seating, seatbelts, DVD/Audio systems, chrome alloy wheels, tinted windows, air conditioning and on board vacuum cleaner.

Again, this year, with the addition of a further 2 Setras, we are hoping to have retain our standard.
