BUZZLINES INVESTS £1 MILLION TO MEET DEMAND

Buzzlines has invested more than £1 million in new, luxury coaches to cope with the increasing demand for UK and mainland Europe travel this summer.

The new vehicles, painted in the popular Buzzlines' blue livery, were out on the road on day trips and short breaks as well as private and corporate hire contracts within hours of delivery to the Buzzlines depot, at Lympne Industrial Park, near Hythe.

Buzzlines, which continuously upgrades its fleet to take advantage of the latest safety and environmental specifications as well as passenger comfort facilities, will be investing in further new vehicles in the
autumn.

The summer additions to the fleet are two award-winning Irizar PB 12.9-metre coaches, with just 49 seats for added passenger comfort within the extra-length vehicles, and two Setra S415HD 49-seat standard length coaches.

Nigel Busbridge, who launched Buzzlines 15 years ago with his wife, Kathryn, said: "It is important to us to give all our customers the safest and most comfortable vehicles on the market with the most environmentally-friendly technology available.

"Our bookings are increasing all the time as more people are choosing to travel by coach. They are discovering the high levels of comfort now available aboard modern vehicles plus the many advantages of not having to struggle with traffic problems and the difficulties associated with
parking both in the UK and abroad."
