News & Press Info

Welcome to our web site.  When Tally Ho! started in the 1920's our first advertisement was a small poster stuck on a wall, fortunately it worked and we have been busy ever since! So many customers use the internet nowadays that we have invested in this new site so that you can receive the information you require.

Freezing conditions. Even south Devon is feeling the arctic blast and we have been experiencing black ice and snow conditions. We have temporarily stopped washing vehicles as the yard was turning into a skating rink. Each morning we have been arriving at 05.00 to start the school vehicles and warm the interiors, we have to make a careful assessment of the road conditions before deciding to send the drivers out. We rarely cancel any run but it is essential to make the right call, there was recently a fatal coach crash in Cornwall and we are very aware of the responsibility.

New Vehicles. We have purchased three vehicles as additions to our fleet.

• A BOVA coach with 53 seats which is suitable for coach tours, is is "low line" which means it is easy to access and it looks sleek.
• An OptareSE 23 seat bus which we plan to use on the Hope Cove and Loddiswell bus routes where we have seen significant passenger growth. This modern vehicle will improve our image and provide a much more comfortable ride with better access.
• A Transit minibus, this new vehicle will be a "Pullman" class providing luxury travel for small groups of up to 17 passengers.

These vehicles are arriving over the next few weeks and will be painted in our blue and white livery ready for the New Year.

Engineering. We have a new engineer on the team called Taff, he has 20+ years experience in the REME and has been working on Tanks! so he finds our coaches familiar!!!
