Re: coach firms?

private hire from frasers can be quite expensive

try a local firm can recommend abbey coaches based in clayton le moors (just before you get to balti stan)

they do 24/25/33/49/53 seaters but tell him how many seats you want and he'll do you a deal

if he cant do it call cranberry coaches

Re: coach firms?

The sizes of the coaches Cranberry have vary. They will send the coach to suit your requirements. The more people you have, the bigger the coach you'll get.

:D, yep , guessed the old boy wasn't around anymore , it was more of a facetious reply than anything , though good to hear he made a good age , Walter used to take all the scout/cub troops from Gt. Harwood area on their summer camps to Witherslack and Wernside in the 50s/early60s , if Robinsons or Ribbledale coaches were offering day trips to Blackpool/Morcambe/Southport for 5/- Walter's price was 4/6d .
If you know the family , thank them for very happy memories and know he is not forgotten :D
