Sanders Coaches
Sanders Coaches is a bus and coach operator based in Holt, Norfolk, England. Its managing director is Charles Sanders. As of September 2021, it has approximately 115 employees. History 
Sanders Coaches was founded on 1 December 1975 by Norman J Sanders, following the retirement of Sanders' employer George Bennett. Sanders took over six vehicles from Bennett's Coaches. In 2019, Sanders closed its Fakenham depot, merging its operations with its depot in Holt. In May 2020, Sanders Coaches was given permission to expand its depot in Holt. Routes
Sanders operates the majority of bus services in North Norfolk. When Stagecoach in Norfolk ceased operations in April 2018, Sanders took over the eastern section of its Coasthopper route, between Wells-next-the-Sea and Cromer, which Sanders extended to North Walsham. At Wells, it connects with Lynx's Coastliner which goes to Hunstanton and King's Lynn. In 2021 and 2022, six new MCV Evora-bodied Volvo B8RLEs were bought for the service. Chris Haslam of the The Sunday Times named the Coasthopper and Coastliner "the two best buses in Britain." In 2021, the firm introduced the number 8 Holt Hopper service, a local service operating within Holt, funded by section 106 contributions from local housing estates. This route was withdrawn on 2 September 2023, due to low patronage. Fleet
As of 2023, Sanders has a fleet of 85, a mixture of buses and coaches, a majority of which have Volvo chassis. In May 2021, the firm purchased a new Plaxton Panther coach. In 2022, the firm increased its fleet of Volvo B8RLE buses to ten. Sanders also has three Yutong TC9 midi coaches, including the first PSVAR compliant example. References
