Two Alexander Dennis Enviro400 Double Deckers for Selwyns Travel

By on

Alexander Dennis, part of the global bus manufacturing giant NFI Group Inc., has just delivered two shiny new Enviro400 double-decker buses to Selwyns Travel, one of the North West's top independent coach operators. And these aren’t just your average buses – they’re packed with 85 comfy, high-backed seats complete with 3-point seat belts.

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.

Transport for London (TfL) has unveiled 'Buses for London', a new publicly owned bus company for the capital, and named route 6 as the first service it will run.  Tom Harrison (Bus Ambassador) The company is due to launch in late 2027, with Park Royal Depot in west London as its first operational base. A further four routes will be announced over the coming year and are due to transfer from 2028. TfL says the company will let it test new approaches to reliability, safety, decarbonisation, customer experience and driver welfare. It also means any profits can be reinvested in the transport network. How London's Buses Work Today For readers outside the capital, London's bus system works differently from most of Britain.
