Bennett is a fleet name used for the coaching side of Warrington Coachways.
Can anyone confirm if this is the case, and if so, which NX route is it allocated to?

Looks like they are slowly building up their fleet of single deckers again which can only be a good thing..

It has a Mercedes chassis, not a Volvo and isn't for NatEx work aparentely.
Not many Caetano Levantes escape NAt Express work from new but I recall The Kings Ferry have a couple.

So they can afford a new coach but not sort there buses out
RE: Warrington Coachways - RSTurbo50 - 11/01/2014 16:39
How much are they new?
RE: Warrington Coachways - J654UHN - 11/01/2014 17:04
It will be a financed vehicle not bought outright
RE: Warrington Coachways - M60lad - 12/01/2014 14:01
I've often wondered is it 2 separate companies:
Bus Side=Warrington Coachways
Coach Side=Bennets Coaches
The thing I've noticed is that the coaches always seem to be well looked after whereas the buses its the absolute opposite
The question is if (and its a big if) they got their license took off them who would operate the 37/38s, personally I would think it a shame if they lost the 37/38s as when it does run properly they've got a good regular set of drivers on it, just a shame that at the moment it seems the vehicles are letting them down

^^^^
And where do Nuttalls Coaches come into it? They also bought out Tanseys don't forget...
RE: Warrington Coachways - YN05 WKE - 12/01/2014 14:33
so if 38/37 gets taken off Warrington Coachways Bennetts or one of the other licences can gain it
