I couldn't find a thread relating to 'Gillinghams', so I thought I'd make one. My english teacher's dad is a long serving employee there, and drives everything from scholars contracts to long distance coach journeys. Any information or suggestions relating to Gillingham's goes beneath here.

I know they have everything from full size coaches to minibuses and large taxis. I don't believe they own any Double Deckers or Single Deckers, and from looking at various photos they have at least around fifteen vehicles. I'll have a chance to talk to my english teacher on Friday so I'll ask her about specific details then.

They have a VERY complex and modern website, so they obviously do have some very good contracts and vehicles (7 to 70 seaters)

For anyone who doesn't know very much at this company;

Yeah  - if you go round onto the road through Hamsterley Gdns, you can get a clear view of the coaches. You can even walk over the field down to the back fence.

Gillinghams now have YN59BKO Mercedes Benz 0816D C33F.

Y333JSM has been re-registered GIL1792. The old GIL1792 (Volvo B10M, originally A651UGD) is still at the depot out of use.

As i have said before they have one of the most well kept fleets in the North East.The reg AG9924 used to be on a Volvo B58 they had years ago then it was placed on one of the Plaxton Paramounts not sure if it was a B10M or Tiger so i am guessing the Setra has replaced one of the older Coaches.
