Scope of article.

My first impression is that this article is primarily focussed on inter-city coach transport and barely hints at the thousands of vehicles used mainly on holiday, excursion, private hire and school work. Would any of the long-standing contributing editors care to comment? Astronomy Explained (talk) 12:02, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

I agree. Would be great to widen the scope of this (and I was one of the earlier contributors). Let's not loose the intercity element, but certainly worth adding the other aspects you mention. PeterEastern (talk) 16:57, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

I have some archive material for a couple of Lancashire-based companies. Give me a few days to dig it out and I'll make a start at adding some of the history and current range of those other types of work. That may then encourage other editors to add material that they have access to or knowledge of. Astronomy Explained (talk) 11:10, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Exactly What Is Wrong With Wikipedia

This article is typical. Basically, it is about those with a passion for buses and coaches wishing to delete anything which suggests (however supported and true) that coach travel is not well liked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.166.133.42 (talk) 12:38, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
