Dear Friends and fellow travellers,

2014 has been an exciting year with the expansion of our tour and charter business after the purchase of the touring and long distance charter division of another local company as well as the natural increase in our own charters and tours. We have now completed the renovations to our office and Departure Lounge. Our staff will be going through a new training program so as to be more in tune with the day to day operations of our business.

We now have 2 full time mechanics and 1 driver/qualified mechanic. This has enabled us to keep up with the quality control of our vehicles that we have been striving for over the last few years. Our vehicles are constantly being attended to in our preventative mainte-nance program and we find that these vehicles are extremely reliable in their operation.

No expense is spared in the safety, maintenance and cleanliness of our fleet of 30 vehicles.

Langley’s are proud to be one of the first fleets in New South Wales to have seatbelts fit-ted to all our school buses, touring and charter coaches. We have just

purchased a larger property in Dubbo where we will be developing an new bus and coach facility, but our office will remain at 5 Depot Road Dubbo as usual and I can see no

reason to change that location. So our office will be open for business at the same

address as for the last 8 years.

Our trials into more extensive overseas markets have proved to be very successful. Our European River Cruise and Canada / Alaska Tours have both gone very well and our

passengers that went thoroughly enjoyed their once in a lifetime experiences. We will continue to offer these along with our shorter tours to New Zealand and the ever popular Norfolk Island. Once again we would like to thank you all for your continuing support and please do not hesitate to contact us with any tour suggestions or questions you may have in the future.

Thanking you

Phil & Fiona Langley
