The coach - distinguished from the bus by its use for longer-haul
and more comfortable trips - has a long and august history. Its
origins lie in the charabanc, a long open-topped vehicle used to
transport passengers on works outings and pleasure excursions. Over
time, coaches came to be enclosed and fitted with more comfortable
seating and higher-quality bodywork than the charabancs and the
buses used on shorter routes. By the 1960s and 1970s on-board
toilets began to be fitted, and despite a decline due to private
car ownership, coach travel remains popular, with Wi-Fi, electric
sockets and even video screens now built in. This colourful
introduction explains the development of motor coach design and the
main coach manufacturers, models and operators, offering a
fascinating insight into the history of the nation's most popular
vehicles.
