In 1966 John Bull was the proprietor of Palmerston garage in Northampton, a typical general service station selling fuel, repairing and selling motor cars. In October of that year, John took the plunge into the travel industry buying a small company of 6 mini-buses called Country Lion. This grew quickly and Country Lion purchased the new and modern Ford Transit and changed the business colour from green to bronze and white.
In 1971 The first new mini-coach was purchased, a Bedford Plaxton. Plaxton and Country Lion have had a positive relationship from that day to this, still supplying many of our premier travel coaches. The company continued to grow with the purchase of several more mini-buses and expanding into large coaches for the first time with the purchase of three vehicles from Overstone Coaches.

Minibuses
Report
The largest passenger vehicle you can drive on a standard UK license. A great choice for a large family holiday. The 9 seater Mini-bus offers spacious and comfortable seating whilst still having plenty of room for bags. Hiring a mini-bus is often a cost-saving measure compared to taking multiple vehicles on a long journey.
Schools
