Widnes-based Ashcroft Travel has taken delivery of a tri-axle K 360 IB with 80-seat Irizar i-Skool bodywork, supplied by Scania Great Britain (01909 500822).
It was purchased after MD Ian Nolan viewed a similar example delivered to fellow Cheshire operator Carvers Coaches of Ellesmere Port in 2017.
“We knew instantly that this was the vehicle for us, as a large percentage of our work is transporting children,” he says.
“This new coach can carry two classes along with their teachers, so it makes it a very cost-effective vehicle compared to hiring two coaches.
“We have been very happy with the service given by Scania, particularly our Account Manager Lee Wale.” The coach comes with a two-year repair and maintenance contract.
