Going Green
RDH Coaches is committed to a cleaner and greener environment. Our drivers have all recently received training in fuel efficient driving to try and reduce our carbon footprint.
We take an active interest in local transport issues and work alongside various local groups and councils to ensure passenger transport remains a priority and is a safe and environmentally friendly alternative for the whole community.
Coach travel not only represents a cost efficient form of transport, it is also one of the most carbon efficient methods of mass transporting people. With organisations now setting themselves tough environmental targets, choosing coach travel has the potential to make a massive impact on an organisation’s carbon footprint.
All our vehicles comply with emissions legislation and are maintained to the very highest standards by our sister company RDH Commercials Ltd.
CO2 Emissions
The coach generates 1/6 of the carbon dioxide emissions of air travel, 1/2 of rail and nearly 1/4 of car.

What you say...
“It was a nice change for the driver to be willing to wait for the less able to get off and give them assistance”
“I also found the driver very helpful and he held my arm and helped me down”
Local horticultural society
Let me thank you for the good organization and giving me your best support. I particularly loved meeting yourself at last and chatting to you for a while. I do hope we meet again. Should you ever wish to practice your German you are most welcome to write to me!
