Ready to take on the world of school runs, corporate events and private hires, these buses are set to give passengers a quality experience, whether they’re heading to class or off on a private adventure.

Selwyns Travel, a firm that’s been in the game for 50 years, knows a thing or two about providing quality service. With these Enviro400s added to their already impressive fleet, they’ll be offering even more reliable, comfortable journeys for larger groups. And there’s more – passengers can enjoy USB charging ports, modern wood-effect flooring, and even a digital tachograph to keep everything running smoothly.

Selwyn Jones, Director at Selwyns Travel, had this to say about the new additions:

"The Enviro400 are a great addition to our fleet and a versatile vehicle that can be used across all types of work that we do. The higher capacity of the Enviro400 means we can transport larger groups that can travel together in comfort and quality."

And it’s not just Selwyns who are thrilled. Simon Wood, Regional Sales Manager for Alexander Dennis, handed over the buses and said:

"I’m delighted to have worked with Selwyns Travel on delivering the Enviro400 double deckers as new additions to their fleet. The vehicles will enable Selwyns to grow their business and maintain their modern fleet."

With a bus built for every occasion, Selwyns is all set to keep the North West moving – in style.
