The Whisperer asked if anyone names their vehicles [routeone/The Whisperer/4 July].
We have named our coaches for 25 of our 30 years of trading.
We started with our children’s names, but as we did not want to keep expanding our family we changed to the weather.
It makes life so much easier when drivers ask what coach they are driving. “Monsoon,” we say, or “Breeze” – simple.
It’s the same with services – “can you take Storm in for a service?” The drivers find it simple too.
We are about to buy our eighth Euro 6 coach, which makes our entire fleet Euro 6. Are we the first operator to do so?
