Lucketts Travel are part of Lucketts Holdings,[2] who also own fellow south coast operators, Worthing Coaches, Coliseum Coaches, Solent Coaches and Mortons Travel Limited. HistoryThe company was founded in 1926 by Harry Luckett as a haulage and storage company and only bought its first coach in 1976. Harry Luckett' son joined the company in 1963 and took over shortly after in 1966 when Harry died unexpectedly. The company’s haulage business continued to grow in the late 1960s and early 1970s, with Ready Mix Concrete and Schweppes major clients. In 1976 David purchased the company’s first coach, choosing to drive it himself. It proved a very enjoyable and successful venture and a second coach was soon purchased. By the mid-1980s the coach fleet had outnumbered the haulage fleet.[3] In 2005 the Worthing Coaches[4] business was purchased followed in March 2006 by Flagship from Eastbourne Buses.[5][6] In January 2009 Lucketts Travel took over operation of National Express routes from Portsmouth to London Victoria Coach Station (030), Heathrow Airport (203) and Bristol (300) from Tellings-Golden Miller.[6] In March 2012 Coliseum Coaches was purchased with 12 coaches.[6][7][8] In March 2013, Lucketts commenced operating further National Express services; London Victoria Coach Station - Brighton (025) and Victoria Coach Station - Gatwick Airport (A3).[9][10] FleetAs at April 2013, the fleet consisted of 103 vehicles.[11] The breakdown was Lucketts (54 vehicles), Worthing (8), Coliseum (12) and National Express (29). In January 2013 a new common livery was introduced. A predominantly white base is offset with a swoop- brown/orange in the case of Lucketts, red/yellow for Worthing Coaches and grey/orange for Coliseum, which also carries a stylised depiction of the Coliseum in Rome.[12] Coaches dedicated to National Express services are painted in the client's livery. In late 2017, the Luckets Group acquired fellow coach operator, Solent Coaches, as part of their strategic expansion plans.[13] On 16 April 2018, the Luckets Group acquired 35-coach North Hampshire firm, Mortons Travel Limited, as part of their accelerated expansion plans.[14] See also
