 Pats Coaches have taken over part of the business of the firm Bradshaws Quality Travel which have premises in Clay Gap Lane, Out Rawcliffe, Preston.  Despite its postal address the location is nearer Blackpool than Preston.

 This vehicle and its existing crew is likely to remain working Shearing's contracts.  Currently this vehicle is in Spain on such a contract.


The Operators Licence in respect of the Wrexham premises has recently been increased and 26 vehicles are now authorised to be used at these premises.
