Coach Trip - Coaches, Registration Plates and Drivers

Coaches, Registration Plates and Drivers

The coaches used are supplied by Motts Travel, a coach hire company based in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. The coaches are installed with cameras and microphones to record the passengers 24/7 while on board. The coaches used in the show are decorated with a Union Flag design on the outside.

• The first coach 'T100 MTT' was a Volvo B10M with Jonckheere Mistral 50 bodywork. It was used during Series 1 and Series 2.
• The coach 'MT04 MTT' arrived in Central London to be used for Series 3 only. It is a Volvo B12B with Plaxton Panther bodywork.
• The coach 'MT09 MTT', also a Volvo B12B/Plaxton Panther, was used from Series 4 to Series 8.
• The newest coach 'MT61 MTT' was introduced by 1 September 2011, according to the DVLA, and will be first used for Series 2 of Christmas Coach Trip in 2012.

There have been two different drivers who drove each coach on each different series. In the first series, the driver was Chris Groombridge who only drove T100 MTT. Series two saw his successor, Paul Donald take over as coach driver. On Day 13 in Series 8, a temporary driver (Jamie) took over for the day and drove the coach to the ferry port.
