Fleet grows to three 'minibuses' in about 1988

Fleet up to seven vehicles by 2004

Our first low floor minibus, a Bluebird Migro, with air suspension

Renault Master with automatic gear box.

Renault Master retired after 10 years reliable service and only 156,000 on the clock.  One happy owner!

Our first low floor Bluebird Tucana.  Retired with a massive 332,197 recorded miles.  Excellent workhorse vehicle

Bought second-hand from St Catherine's Hospice this VW LT was re-liveried and served Dial A Ride for  6 years.  Now converted to take a track race-ready motorbike  transporter.

Our second low floor Bluebird Tucana but Bluebird's first production Tucana.

The infamous Ford Iveco!   Hard working and managed 116,000 miles.

Our low floor Bluebird Orion.  Stirling service on the Hospital Shuttle service and left us with 234,000 miles on the clock.

The first Fiat for our fleet was a great success.  Good size with 15 passenger seats and PLS underfloor lift  but CoViD meant  us reducing the fleet by one so 'Keith' was sold on.

Renault Master 10 seater accessible minibus with higher roof than usual.  Converted by the now defunkt Bluebird vehicles (nowhere near as good a job as Minibus Options!)

Bluebird Tucana II built by Mellor Coachcraft.  Excellent low floor minibus!
