                                                                       Our fleet:

Our fleet has come a long way since the two Leyland Tigers acquired in 1986 for private hire. From the acquisition of new Volvo Olympians in the 1990's to new Dennis Dart's in the 2000's and new Caetano Levante bodied Scanias for use on our National Express route 594 in 2007, we have invested heavily in the fleet to ensure a modern fleet. In 2012 we bought 4 new Gemini 2's with a Volvo B9TL chassis, 1 Mercedes Citaro and also 2 Gemini 2's with a Volvo B5LH chassis, for which we received some Green Bus Fund money. One is used on TfL school service whilst the other is used on our flagship route 10. We have commited to upgrading the fleet at sussexbus and Western Greyhound, and so far we have bought and placed into service 4 10.8 metre Enviro 200's for use on route 40 and 3 11.4 metre Enviro 400's for use on route 40X at sussexbus, as well as purchasing 21 brand new 8.9 metre Enviro 200's to replace Mercedes Beavers at Western Greyhound. All vehicles purchased for use at sussexbus and Western Greyhound have been ordered to a high specifaction including ultra low emission Euro 6 engines, high backed Lazzerini seating, power sockets, audio-visual announcements, power sockets and free wifi. So far, the entire commercial fleet at Chancellors Travel and the entire fleet at Western Greyhound and sussexbus have been fitted with free wifi.

                                                                       Our future:

Our future here at Chancellors Travel currently looks very bright with the win of TfL routes 61, 314, 336, 352, 353, 354, 636 and 638 for which we are ordering new 10.5 metre B5LH/Gemini 3's for use on routes 61, 353, 636 and 638, new 8.9 metre Enviro 200's for use on routes 336 and 354, new 10.8 metre Enviro 200's for use on route 352 and new virtual electic Volvo 7900H's for use on route 314, with overhead charging points at New Addington and Eltham Station.
