Atleast it's kept the thread alive as I doubt you won't be seeing many tour coaches for a while especially given the age of most of their clientele
It seems that this is well the case and has been partly the cause of the collapse of what would seem to be one of the biggest coach tour operators - Specialist Leisure Group - encompasing both the Shearings and National Holidays brands:

I guess I will have a good wait to see another tour bus , only Prospect's college services seen by myself of late. Although the previously mentioned " Ipswich bus" was again seen in the vicinity of Bromsgrove Rail Station earlier this morning. I gather that West Midlands Trains are short of train crew for the Cross City Line - amongst other routes .

PR19STE seen recently on Prospects W2 college service , this vehicle would be newer than some of the coaches seen on tours over the years !! As for rail replacements , last Sunday I saw a Volvo / Plaxton , FJ09XGL disappear down Station Drive Bromsgrove . Not idea as to who operates this , it was in an all over brown livery , similar to Hallmark Coaches.

FJ09XGL has been traced to Mighty Travels of Birmingham . New operator to me.

Prospect still using hi - spec coaches on the W2 , PR18NAT noted this morning. And hopefully true "tour coaches" in a couple of weeks time.

On what I assume to be a tour "feeder" this morning was M200MHS of MHS Coaches of Stourport who have operated this 1995 Volvo for almost 20 years .

A smart minibus operated by Laguna Holidays on stand 4 yesterday , I almost had a funny turn as I thought for a moment that Clearway had "splashed the cash" . . . . . . .
