M&M Staffing’s new 13.4-metre P20 coach, christened Paddington after London’s famous train station, features an MAN D26 12.4 litre Euro 6d engine that develops 470 bhp and 2,400 Nm.
The coach, which has a fully automated six-speed ZF EcoLife gearbox and three axle chassis, includes 55 luxury slide-out seats trimmed in Dorado style half-leather, with red leather-effect headrest and piping, three-point seatbelts, USB slots, seat-back tables and a centre toilet.
There is also Wi-Fi connectivity, climate control air-conditioning, a drinks machine, fridge, two DVD screens, double tinted side windows, an Eberspacher pre-heater, and carpets and curtains throughout.
For the driver, there is a leather multi-function steering wheel, heated seat, heated windscreen and mirrors, automatic headlights and windscreen wipers, satellite navigation, reversing camera and centre door camera.
M&M, established in 2018, offers rail replacement services across Essex, London, Kent and most of Southern England.
Mark Hough, Co-Director at M&M Staffing, said: “As a small family company having the support and expertise of professionals surrounding us has been amazing.
“We couldn’t be happier with how everyone involved has worked together and supported each other throughout the order, build, delivery, conversion and preparation process.”
