Wallace Arnold K845 HUM at the Travelodge, Barton Mills – Jul 1993 (200-16)

Friday x July 1993 - Wallace Arnold Tours K845 HUM, a Jonckheere Deauville bodied Volvo B10M new in March 1993, seen parked at the Travelodge, Barton Mills.

The 1993 intake of coaches to the Wallace Arnold Tours fleet included 25 Van Hool Alizées (K801-825 HUM), 20 Jonckheere Deauvilles (K826-845 HUM) and a mere 5 from Plaxton (4 Premiere 350 K846-849 HUM and 1 Excalibur K850 HUM). Press reports had stated that Wallace Arnold was not happy with the quality of the 1992 deliveries of the then new Premiere and Excalibur models and as a result for 1993 the two Belgian builders got the lion's share of the orders.
