About Talisman Coach Lines
your travel companion
“Everyone was really impressed with the level of service you provided” Mr & Mrs B, Harwich
The Company
Talisman Coach Lines is your expert travel companion. Comfort, safety and value for money go hand in hand with the highest level of customer service. People are our priority. Like so many of our customers, our team of experienced and much sought-after drivers choose to stay with us year after year.
Our headquarters are conveniently situated off the A120, only a short drive from the passenger and cruise terminals at Harwich International Port, only an hour from London Stansted Airport, and close to the A12 near Colchester, Essex. All sides of the operation come together here, and our customer sales team welcome walk-in as well as telephone enquiries at our offices. The extensive site is also home to our own purpose-built engineering facility where all our vehicles are maintained.
The Team
“All the information given and taken was helpful and inspired complete confidence” Mrs L, Brightlingsea, Essex
It’s no coincidence that buses and coaching have been in our Directors’ blood for three generations.
With over forty years’ experience, Terry Smith is a much respected realist in the coaching industry. His son, Paul, was probably born with a silver steering wheel in his hands.
Driving things forward
“our driver was superb, efficient and extremely courteous” Mrs L, Essex
Experience is everything, and many of our office team are as at home behind the steering wheel or on the courier’s microphone as doing their official duties.
We believe that it is this synergy within the team which secures the best results and keeps corporate clients, individual organisers and tour programme customers coming back for more.
