Arriva double decker in wellingborough

[westcoaster]

Yesterday i passed an arriva double dwcker on the A510 it was heading into finedon road industrial estate, it had branding on it. Think it was an 06 reg and eclipse body. 3 drivers up front, only bus type places on the estate are Van Hool coaches and a scania dealership ( truck east) , i thought they might be lost looking for volvo truck and bus.

any ideas.

Arriva Bus and Coach grows with new depot

Continuing growth within all areas of the business has led Arriva Bus and Coach to open a new depot in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire.

Steve Hodkinson, Managing Director, commented:

“The opening of this depot is an important step for Arriva Bus & Coach, bringing us physically closer to our customers in the Midlands and the South and enabling us to respond more quickly and more effectively to their needs.

Cleckheaton will remain the main business location for us, but the Wellingborough depot is being set up to give customers located further south immediate access to our full range of new and used vehicles, short and long-term rental, parts and service support.”

Arriva Bus & Coach is now the principal supplier of Van Hool coaches in the UK, as well as representing a number of other quality brands including Temsa, Berkhof and VDL.
