After years of loyal service, “Sharon”, the coach driven by Robert’s Travel Group’s much-loved team member Elton, has been a familiar sight on roads near and far.
Now, with a brand-new coach joining the fleet, Robert’s Travel Group is inviting the public to help choose a name for its latest addition, just in time to celebrate the company’s 30th anniversary.
Elton has been part of the Robert’s family for over 13 years. He is known not only for his expert driving but also for his warm personality, legendary stories, and unwavering dedication to his passengers. Since the very beginning of his career, Elton has named each of his coaches, a heartfelt tradition that reflects the pride he takes in his role and the bond he builds with every vehicle.
With this new coach joining the team, it’s time to continue that tradition and Robert’s and Elton are asking the public to help select the perfect name. Elton explains:
“Every coach I’ve driven has had a name, it makes the coach feel like a real part of the team. Sharon has been with me for some brilliant adventures over the years, school trips, seaside holidays, theatre days, you name it, and I’ve had the pleasure of meeting thousands of wonderful passengers along the way.
But now it’s time for a fresh start, and I’d love the next name to come from someone in the community. It would mean a lot to know that the name on the front came from the people I’ve shared so many miles and memories with.”
The competition is open now and closes at the end of August. A panel from Robert’s Travel Group, alongside Elton, will choose the winning name, which will be proudly displayed on the new coach. The winner will be officially announced on the company’s social media channels.
As an added bonus, the person who submits the winning name will also receive a special prize of a day trip for two to mark the occasion.
