Seaward Travel of London has purchased two new Plaxton coaches, which are the first 61-seat Panther-bodied Volvo B8Rs to go into operation in the capital city.

They join a fleet dominated by Plaxton coaches and will operate on tours, excursions and airport transfers. The vehicles are 12.8m models fitted with seat belts, sophisticated DVD and entertainment systems, alloy wheels, I-Shift gearboxes and Thermo King air-conditioning throughout.

Richard Cassell, General Manager at Seaward Travel, commented: “We have always found that the Plaxton-Volvo combination works well for us and we are delighted to have another two, top-of-the-range Panthers in our line-up of exclusive vehicles.

“They provide comfort, capacity and performance, all of which are critical factors in our London-based operation.”
