Here are just a few of the lovely comments we have recieved from customers in our first week ⏰️👌 Just to clarify a couple of points:- The Android App IS in build but we are still waiting on Google to approve it!!! The Next Stop Announcements will be in operation next week, just waiting on Hanover finalising the files for us to approve!!! We will be offering advertising on the screen aswell for local businesses so keep an eye out here for more infomation 👀 We serve ALL Bus Stops on the route Weekly Passes are available onboard the buses Thankyou everyone 🤗

2023 - YOU'VE BEEN A YEAR AND A HALF --------‐--------------------------------------------------------- This year has been an absolute whirlwind of a year and a year that we will never forget but heres just a few highlights:- • We extended our workshop to accodate 6 bays and equipped it with brand new @totalkareltd vehicle lifts 🛠 • All our staff recieved a pay rise to help combat the cost of living crisis 💷 • Our first trainee driver sucessfully passed his driving test and has covered thousands of miles with us since 👨‍🏫🚸🚌 • Our first brand new coach arrived from @alexanderdennislimited in July ⭐️🚐⬜️ • Archway HQ transformed into a Festival Venue for Fourtyfest 🍻🎉 • @volvobuses delivered the BIGGEST bus on the Fylde Coast 🚍🟥🟨 • We secured additional long term and short term contracts. • We took on an additional Mechanical Apprentice in our workshop. • @volvotrucks delivered another Volvo FH to accompany some new @dennisontrailers flatbed trailers. • We safely transported thousands and thousands of people here, there and everywhere 👥👥👥👥 • A 98% First Time MOT Pass Rate (over 50 vehicles tested) Obviously the year hasn't been perfect, we've had our fair share of accidents, breakdowns and things that don't go to plan but hey....thats transport for you ❌️ ------------------------------------------------------------------ Now all of this cannot be achieved without the support of our amazing team of staff, from those in office taking bookings and dealing with the day to day operations, those out on the road as the face to our customers and those in the workshop keeping our vehicles in the best possible condition. Thankyou to each and every one of you for everything you do for us 💙 --------‐--------------------------------------------------------- HERES TO 2024 - YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE SOME YEAR TO BEAT THIS ONE BUT WE'RE READY FOR YOU!! --------‐-------------

AR60WAY

We don't just provide breakdown support for Buses and Coaches....we also work with @millers_recovery to provide service van repairs throughout Lancashire as part of their UK and European support network. Unfortunatly this trailer had suffered a failed brake chamber whilst travelling down the M6, we dispatched our service van whilch had the correct part on board and got the driver and operator back on the road again 🔧🔧 - - - - - - - #breakdown #callout #servicevan #roadsiderepairs #mercedes #sprinter
