A short winter holiday on the North Wales coast held all sorts of transport possibilities.
‘Arriva Wales’ trains and buses including some ‘Sapphire’ branded deckers,
‘Express Motors’ yellow and white fleet together with whatever the countries coach operators could turn up with.
However, the first thing to take my fancy was a ‘Yutong’ TC 12 coach of ‘GEE-VEE Travel’ who operate across South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire.
I had seen other coaches of this marque briefly as they passed but this was the first time I had had chance for a closer look.
Brought into this country by Pelican Bus & Coach Sales, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pelican Engineering Co. Ltd.
The company was established almost a hundred years ago and having traded continually for all of that time, it is to be expected that they should be able to pick a winner.
Add to that pedigree, a tie up with Yutong, the largest bus and coach manufacturer in the world and the technology and resources that they command.
The product of such an association has to be something to be reckoned with.
The driver said that he was pleased with it as were his passengers.
A smart looking vehicle that could and might do very well.
Time, as they say, will tell.
