A-Line Coaches Coventry

[Tony]

I have now done my upgrade to the A Line page including all old photos I have managed to recover and full vehicle histories
http://wmbusphotos.com/A%20Line/fleetlist.html
Any updates, corrections, or photographs of missing vehicles gratefully received.

Note the former vehicles section only includes vehicles I have photos of

[fleetline6477]

Other vehicles previously owned, which I don't have photos of

Marshall Dennis Dart SLF S 81 DOX which passed to Zak's

Plaxton Pointer 2 Dennis Darts SLF V 385 / 6 JWK which passed to Pete's Travel and V 509 NOF which passed to Zak's.

These were owned early 2000s probably sold by 2001/2.

Thanks, yes those 4 might get a mention in the future as I do have photos of them with subsequent operators, in general I only intend including vehicles I have photos of in the 'former sections' as it would be impossible to do a full list with most ops.

A&M has now also had the update treatment

So as it was stated in the Xplore Dundee thread, A-Line have acquired ex Dundee 7176. This has been acquired to use on school services. So looks like we might still see B10's in service.

@Michael Bevan - there was already an A-Line thread, we don't need two..... Please check before starting a new thread, Winston

Added to the fact that there are still B10's operating up and down the land so not just a west midlands novelty.

Have A Line got any normal passenger services left?

An 2004 (Unsure whether it was 04 or 54) Mercedes Plaxton Beaver has joined this firm with the last 3 letters of the registration plate being "TWN". Seen in Coventry today in dark blue fleet livery.

Ex Xplore Dundee 7176 has now been painted into dark blue and has been on a School Contract today.

Do A-Line only run school contract services in the Coventry boundary (the A&M Group running the 735 after the departure of A-Line from that) these days. Have I got that right?

I think they just operate Private Hire and contracts.

I highly doubt this will go ahead as planned if COVID-19 is still around.

This company used to have a garage in Mancetter, Atherstone right?

I remember catching their 777 service from Chelmsley Wood to Atherstone each Friday on my way to work. Bus fare 99p!
