What we do…
Low-Emission Transport
Travelling by coach emits six times less CO2 per passenger than cars do.
Supports Eco Goals
Our coach travel strengthens our corporate clients’ Corporate Social Responsibility efforts.
Less Congestion
A full Selwyns coach takes 50 cars off the road, removing one 1 mile of traffic congestion.
National Express Partnership
By partnering together, we’re supporting their goal to be the UK’s most sustainable coach company.
Our Journey To Net Zero
We take our environmental responsibilities very seriously, and we recognise that we have an important part to play in reducing emissions and combating climate change.
This is why it’s our vision to be the UK’s most sustainable coach company.
One coach can take up to one mile of cars off the road and just a 15% increase in coach passenger journeys by people in the UK each year could save over a quarter of a million tonnes of carbon dioxide. Reducing reliance on car travel also reduces noise pollution, improves air quality, and helps to tackle social inequality.
Because of this, we have committed to making our coach fleet zero emission by 2035 – ahead of the UK net zero target of 2050.
Don’t just take our word for it, look at the figures below on the performance of our vehicles, which show how they compare to other transport modes.
Grams of greenhouse gas per passenger km when travelling by:
Key
Direct emissions: emissions produced by the vehicle itself.
Indirect emissions: emissions produced by the extraction, refining, and transportation of the fuel used to power the vehicle. For electric vehicles, this includes the generation and transmission of electricity.
Indirect effects: complex effects produced by greenhouse gases interacting with the atmosphere, e.g. contrails produced by planes in the atmosphere, which reflect sunlight. Due to their complexity, their GHG effect is uncertain and what is presented here is a central estimate. Indirect effects are only included in the calculation of air travel in our analysis.
Our Fleet
Our core coach fleet is Euro VI standard – the highest engine emission standard available.
On average, our vehicles produces an average of 21.7 grams of greenhouse gas emission (GHG) at tailpipe per passenger kilometre at 100% passenger capacity. Based on the Department for Transport’s latest data on transport emissions, an average of 33 grams of GHG per passenger kilometre is produced when travelling by coach, when considering both direct and indirect emissions.
What our clients say

From ringing to make the booking to last drop off of the night Selwyns have been first class. Ladies on phone helpful and friendly and on Saturday night Paul our driver was brilliant. Thank you again for making organising easy and I will definitely recommend your company to anyone looking to book coach travel 👍 -
Would rate it a million stars if I could. Excellent service from Selwyns runcorn, from booking and having to ring the office for a few requests. Our driver Danny was first class very polite, friendly and professional. Got me and my family to the rugby league grand final at Old Trafford safely and a very comfortable beautiful coach. He helped enormously with my 90 year old father in law who needed help getting on and off the coach,highly recommend. Thank you one and all at Selwyns Coaches, Runcorn

The booking process was easy and clear to understand. It was easy to make a payment over the phone and we were provided with clear information ahead of our drivers arrival. Danny arrived on time, was friendly, helpful and accommodating. He was supportive when we had an issue with our destination and was helpful when we were running late for our train. So grateful to have had him for our journey. Please let him know. Thank you so much!
-
Excellent service, our driver was extremely helpful and considerate in getting us to our venue on time and as close to the venue as possible on our arrival and departure despite a very busy car park. He showed concern as we were getting off the coach telling us to be mindful of the cars still coming into the carpark. Very pleasant, friendly and polite.

We recently used Selwyns for a geography field trip, and they were fantastic from start to finish! The drivers were lovely, super friendly, and even shared some extra tour guide insights about Liverpool along the way. They arrived well ahead of our departure and pick-up times, ensuring everything ran completely stress-free. The coaches were exceptionally clean and comfortable. We will definitely be using Selwyns for our future trips!
-
Selwyn’s provide an unbelievable service every time we use their buses for our away day travel. The drivers are always fantastic with the players and fans and I cant thank them enough for everything that they do for us

Good service and the drivers Paul and Mustafa were friendly and accomodating.

We used Selwyns to take a group of scouts to Switzerland. Met up with the team and drivers beforehand so we could get to know them before spending a week away and couldn’t have been better whilst we were there – drivers very accommodating, journey times were all good. The acid test of any company is when things go wrong though and through no fault of ours or theirs we ended up being delayed at the ports for 6 hours, putting both the drivers we had with us and the relief driver scheduled to take over, outside of their hours. Selwyns were great though in managing to keep our 32 teenagers on the move, organising alternative relief at very short notice to get everyone back to Manchester as quickly as possible. We’re booking them again for our next trip!
-
Good communication, clean bus, picked up on time, efficient company to deal with. Have used them on multiple occasions.

Very professional
