EasyCoach
easyCoach was a bus operator based in Shrewsbury, England.[1] It was operated by a company called The Skiers Lodge under the easyGroup brand.[2] Its director was Andrew Martin.[3]
History[edit]
easyCoach was launched in 2017.[4] In September 2017, the company took over operating the 436 Shrewsbury to Bridgnorth service. Following a disagreement with the local council, it ceased operating it after 1 January 2018.[5] The company began operating in Wrexham in July 2018 with four services, but withdrew after two months.[6][7] Following an investigation by the Traffic commissioner, the company was banned in March 2019 from holding a license for two years.[8][6]
