Coach Fleet:

For many years D.K. & N. Bowman used solely, British built vehicles, namely AEC. Whilst AEC still have a large presence in the School Contract fleet,

Our front line Executive Class is now based on Scania. We find from practical experience the Scania chassis is ideal for the diversity of the work that we cover.

Whether it be Motorway or narrow country lane the Scania excels.

Our Fleet covers 49,53 & 57 seat “Standard Class” coaches and 51 seat “Executive Class”.

Executive Class:

51 Reclining seats, Toilet, Hot & Cold Drinks, Video, Radio, Cassette, PA system, Seat Belts and Mobile Phone (at extra cost).
 

Standard Class:

49,53,57 fixed or 57 reclining seats, Forced air ventilation, Radio/Cassette/PA system and seat belts.
