Wednesday 5 July 2017 (1525) – Robinsons Holidays has been around for many years. Based in Great Harwood, Lancashire the company has established a much wider pick-up area from the early days when it concentrated on the Lancashire industrial towns. The green and orange livery has changed too. Volvo integral 290 (BV66 VGR) seen at the Ocean View Hotel in Shanklin, Isle of Wight, a hotel is owned by the company. Alongside is Moffat and Williamson MW15 LUX, a Plaxton bodied Volvo B11R new in May 2015, wearing the livery of another famous coach tour operator. The original Glenton operated premium coaches in a sedate fawn livery on higher priced holiday tours. Both Robinsons and Glenton are in different ownership than when they were established.
