"It was a really good night, despite the freezing weather!" said A-Line's Operations Manager, Toby France. "I've been involved with Young Farmers for some years now, so I was really pleased to provide the transport for their charity fundraising trip free of charge.

The Air Ambulance is such a worthy cause, and its great to be able to support them." - - - o O o - - - A-Line Coaches win top industry award 28th September 2008 A-Line Coaches are celebrating this week after winning a top award at the annual Showbus International event at Duxford Air Museum last Sunday.
