Windsorian Coaches - Preliminary
article
In 2005 we found these photographs for
sale so thought it would be fun to include them here. Perhaps
you were taken to swimming lessons, school football matches or
a pantomime in London in a Windsorian coach. Perhaps it was one
of these!
Windsorian Coaches was originally Windsor'
local coach hire company and was formed in 1920. In 1995 Windsorian
Coaches joined forces with Ashford Luxury Coaches and now operates
from Bedfont, near Heathrow. Windsorian Coaches hold two Royal
Warrants, one from the Queen and one from the late Queen Mother.
We hope you find these pictures interesting
and evocative or warm sunny days and happy trips to new and exciting
locations... We hope to add more here about the history of Windsorian
Coaches when more information is to hand.

We received the following email in September
2006 from RES in Western Australia.
"What a lovely surprise
to come across these pictures of Windsorian Coaches. Lo and behold
there was the coach that I used to drive for Windsorian
back in 1961-1962, the Bedford Duple (OOT 200). I used to drive
day trippers down to Bournemouth, Bognor Regis, Littlehampton
and other seaside towns as well as outings to London.
I left Windsorian Coaches way back in March 1962 when I married
and emigrated to Perth, Western Australia. I have often
wondered over the years what happened to that coach. Is it still
on the road or in a transport museum somewhere? Many thanks for
bringing back some wonderful memories!
