Jeff Buckle RIP

Earlier this week, I learnt the sad news that local coach company great, Jeff Buckle, had passed away after suffering a period of illness.



Jeff was the former owner of Great Yarmouth coach business Caroline Seagull Coaches which closed on 31st of March 2008. At the time the company had relocated to South Denes and I visited a month or so later when I observed at least thirteen coaches still on site.



I later met Jeff on the eve of the Reynolds Coaches Retirement Auction at their Ormesby Road garage in Caister during early August 2018. I remember him talking about the merits (and mostly otherwise!) of the Mercedes-Benz Tourismo.



He subsequently established a two vehicle Reynolds of Caister business to operate school runs from the same premises. Our thoughts are with the family and wide circle of friends at this sad time - rest in peace Jeff.
