Edinburgh Coachlines gets Irizar pair

Edinburgh Coach Lines, owned by the Eirebus Group, has just taken delivery of two new coaches from Irizar UK.

The tri-axle coaches are of the Irizar Integral i6S Efficient variant and will be in operation on the Leger Shearings holiday tours programme.

At 14m in length, the two coaches seat up to 42 passengers on i6 Plus padded seats. Each passenger benefits from a magazine holder, seat-back table and multi-position footrest. USB charging points are supplied to each pair of seats. In addition to the Bosch Smart Series audio-visual system and monitors located throughout the saloon, passengers can also use the Azimit On Demand media system for entertainment on the move. This system allows the user to choose from a wide range of entertainment content; books, movies, games, and music, to watch via an App on their device. A benefit to the operator is that the App can be used for onboard information, marketing, customer satisfaction surveys, and more.

Edinburgh Coach Lines has specified PSVAR preparation and with this future-proofing in place, the residual value of the coaches will be protected.

The coaches feature DAF’s 449hp 11litre MX-11 330 engine matched to ZF’s Traxon 12-speed automated gearbox.

Other features include an onboard toilet located in the central stairwell and a rear lounge area featuring four captain-style chairs.
