Stantons of Stoke has celebrated its 12th anniversary with the purchase of a Mercedes-Benz Tourismo M/2. It is the first new full-sized coach delivered to the business and has been supplied by Daimler Buses UK.
The Tourismo is named Lady Linda in honour of Managing Director Keith Stanton’s mother, and is finished in the Endon operator’s silver-based livery. Included are polished alloy wheels and a cherished registration mark.
The new arrival continues Stantons’ favour of the Tourismo for large coach needs. It is a 13m, two-axle model and has 59 seats in Travel Star Eco upholstery and with synthetic leather headrest inserts.
Also included are armrests, USB charging points, and twin 21.5-inch monitors. PSVAR compliance has been specified, with a passenger lift immediately behind the front axle and silver LED destination displays.
The driver benefits from a heated seat and a leather-trimmed steering wheel. Safety systems include a rear-view camera, Active Brake Assist 6, Sideguard Assist 2, and Traffic Sign Assist.
Power is from the 10.8-litre OM 470 engine developing 390bhp coupled to an eight-speed Powershift automated manual gearbox.
