Our everyday lives impact immensely on the environment, we all need to minimise this impact wherever, whenever possible, various initiatives are being developed (modern vehicle technologies) and systems employed to reduce the level of impact, one such system is LEZ (Local Emission Zone), London is now operational, all commercial and passenger vehicles entering London have to meet a specific emission criteria, not all coaches are permitted without paying an additional fee (currently £200).
All Wicksons Travel coaches meet the LEZ criteria - ensuring no additional costs to you!
What if you are not going to London?
You still have the confidence that the Wicksons Travel coach you hire is as kind to the environment as it can be!
