A New 100 Seat Double Decker Bus Is Coming to Acklams in September
More capacity, fewer vehicles.
A simpler way to move large groups
From September, Acklams Coaches will be offering a new solution: a 100 seat double decker bus available for hire across Yorkshire and beyond.
With space for up to 100 passengers on a single vehicle, it will offer one of the largest-capacity private hire options available in the region.
Why a 100 Seat Bus Makes Such a Difference
Most standard coaches carry significantly fewer passengers, which means larger groups may need two or more vehicles for the same journey.
A 100 seat double decker can help simplify those arrangements by carrying more people together.
That can mean:
Fewer vehicles to organise
Fewer drivers and collection points
Easier passenger coordination
Simpler arrivals and departures
Potential savings compared with using multiple smaller vehicles
A reduced number of vehicle movements
For schools, colleges, universities, events and large organisations, that extra capacity can make a real difference.
Ideal for School Transport and Educational Visits
School trips are one of the clearest examples of where a 100 seat vehicle can help.
A large year group may otherwise need several coaches or buses, creating additional planning around registers, staff allocation, departure times and arrival arrangements.
Using one high-capacity vehicle can help keep more pupils, teachers and support staff together throughout the journey.
The bus will be particularly well suited to:
School trips and educational visits
College and university transport
Sports days and inter-school fixtures
Large year-group movements
Regular school transport requirements
Transfers between campuses or venues
For schools across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, access to a vehicle of this size will provide a valuable new option when planning group travel.
A Strong Choice for Events and Shuttle Services
Large events often involve moving significant numbers of people over relatively short distances.
Whether passengers need transporting between a car park and venue, from a railway station to an event site or between different locations throughout the day, high-capacity transport can help keep everything moving efficiently.
The 100 seat double decker will be ideal for:
Event shuttle services
Festivals and public events
Conferences and exhibitions
Park and ride operations
Staff transport
Sporting fixtures
Large supporter groups
Venue-to-venue transfers
Carrying up to 100 passengers at once means fewer journeys may be needed, helping organisers manage busy schedules more effectively.
High-Capacity Bus Hire in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire
Vehicles offering this level of capacity are not widely available for private hire, particularly within Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
That is likely to make the new bus especially useful for customers who regularly need to move larger groups but currently have to rely on several separate vehicles.
Operating throughout the region, Acklams Coaches will be able to provide 100 seat double decker bus hire for journeys from Hull, Beverley, York, Leeds, Doncaster, Sheffield, Grimsby, Scunthorpe and surrounding areas.
The vehicle can also be considered for suitable journeys elsewhere in the UK.
Keeping Large Groups Together
One of the biggest advantages of high-capacity transport is not simply the number of seats. It is the ability to keep a large group together.
When passengers are split across several vehicles, organisers may have to manage different departure times, separate passenger lists and staggered arrivals.
A single 100 seat bus can make the whole process feel much more straightforward.
Everyone leaves together, travels together and arrives together.
For schools and event organisers in particular, that can make group management much easier.
Available from September
Our new 100 seat double decker bus is expected to join the Acklams fleet in September.
With high-capacity vehicles of this type relatively uncommon, we expect demand to be strong for school travel, event transport and larger group movements.
Customers planning journeys for the autumn and beyond are encouraged to speak to our team early, particularly where passenger numbers are likely to be above the capacity of a standard coach.
