One of our new service buses is officially finished! After new paint and vinyls last month we’ve had the seats retrimmed to freshen the inside up. You’d never know it was 9 years old!

How is it only a week until the schools go back? 😮
I’m pleased to say we’ve picked up another school route over the summer and will be operating the 387 route to Stowupland from Needham market. Please can all students make sure they carry a pass as we will be checking daily.
Thanks!

A quick pit stop on our way back from Heathrow this morning for a well needed coffee. We’re returning Thomas Mills from their Borneo Expedition and it’s a very sleepy bus! We’ve also got Care Uk in Felixstowe today and a local private hire to Bury St Edmunds. These summer 6 weeks are flying by 😅

Yesterday marked the most important job of the year! Our very own James got married to the beautiful Hannah on what turned out to be a gorgeous summer afternoon full of drinking, dancing and fun. A massive congratulations to the both of them and we wish them all the very best for the future.
I’d also like to thank Pete and Danny for transporting the 100 guests for the day.

It’s a very busy Wednesday! We’ve got over 150 people at Ely Cathedral with Gabrieli from Holt today. We’ve also got some very excited children from Wetheringsett heading to Banham Zoo. All that alongside a group from Framlingham heading for Bury St Edmunds, I’d say we’re being kept on our toes during the holidays.

I need a favour from you lovely people! We’ve entered one of our service buses into a national competition for best livery. We’re in the small bus operator category and I would be really grateful if the people of Suffolk could lend me 2 minutes to vote for our Framlingham and surrounding landmarks themed design.
Follow the link and help us put our little town on the map!

What a day to pick to ride the London Eye and take a River Cruise! We’re in the big smoke with Leiston Primary and 61 excited children.
High capacity is the name of the game and it’s our specialty so why not save yourself an extra bus and give us a ring!

Say hello to the twins! 👧🏼 👧🏼

With the increasing workload year on year we’ve added these two 2015 Optare Metrocity 40 seat service buses, taking the total fleet size to 14 vehicles. They’re both fresh out of the paint shop and looking great in silver ready to have the blue graphics added in a few weeks.

They’ll be used on school and local swimming runs during the week and will be off further afield covering Rail Replacement for Greater Anglia at the weekends.

We’re very proud with how far we’ve come over the last 5 years and will continue to invest to maintain our hard earned reputation that’s been built over 4 generations. 🚎💨🚎💨
