HERTFORDSHIRE coach operating group Hale Bros, which controls Don's Coaches (Hale Bros) Ltd, Progressive Coachlines (Cambridge) Ltd, and Lea Valley Coaches Ltd, is to market its programme of extended tours under the name of Blue Crest Holidays.
The Blue Crest title was first used in the operator's 1979 tour brochure and is now incorporated in a new livery for the coach fleet.
Three new coaches have now been added to the fleet for its extended tour programme. The three coaches are based on a Leyland Leopard, DAF MB200 and Volvo B58 chassis and the fleet will eventually be standardised on the type of chassis which proves most satisfactory in operation.
The DAF and Leyland are fitted with Plaxton Supreme bodies and the Volvo with a Plaxton Viewmaster. All three coaches are 49-seaters.
