Sturminster Newton- based Vale Coaches has recently purchased a B8R with high-capacity Sunsundegui SB3 bodywork from Volvo Bus (02476 210250).
It seats 72 and is for a newly-signed seven-year school contract with Dorset County Council, and Owner Bryan Way says that the B8R SB3 is “the ideal vehicle” for such a duty.
“This is the first new coach that we have added to our fleet and also the first Volvo.
“It was important to invest in a vehicle that will see us through the duration of the contract and it comes with three-point belts as standard, which is extremely important for the safety of our passengers.
“We had great advice from our Volvo Retail Bus and Coach Sales Manager Richard Mann.”
