My one and only experience of coach one was our promotion season, Crawley away, last away game. Was on the coach the day the Gas went non league. It was great! Seriously. Bit weird at first when they started making tea and coffee onboard and everyone had brought their own mugs, but they found paper cups for us and we were made very welcome, they shared everything. It was one old boys birthday and they bought a coach load of doughnuts, I fully expected to be left out and made myself busy with my phone to avoid embarrassment, but we got a doughnut each. they even handed around a tin of celebrations chocolates on the way back as soon as we heard the Gas news, played loud music on the way back and had a right party on there.

WhistleHappy Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Psst, bring your own wheel nuts and if you have a tyre hanging around with a bit of tread still on it, you will be most welcome if you take it along, they've struggled along for half the season with a front nearside wheel missing, the regulars are a bit fed up of all piling in on the rear right hand corner trying to balance the bloody thing up a bit... Some people have got 'very friendly' apparently while taking advantage of the situation and the occasional unwary stranger though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to use CATS all the time back in the 80's, always liked it when we got a z cars coach ( or the mad Frier/Fryer (?) one.) Never got on the elusive coach One though, and no never been to Darllington either. One season didn't Z cars set up a rival service as you lost the contract to Peter Carol? We ditched CATS and had some great away days, must be all of 25 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 @Izza, you do get told which seats to sit in though, the regulars all have their own places and like to sit with their friends. Like I said the moment they all produce their various mugs and china cups is a bit strange, no a lot strange. Think hot drinks were something like 20p a cup, but we had a free one on the way back as the Gas were relegated! I thought they would be a bit 'bad luck, sorry to hear you were relegated' towards the Gas, but they absolutely hate them, really slagging them off, it was quite funny.
