We’re sorry to hear that the Summer Wine Magic Tour Bus will not be running for the foreseeable future. We wish Colin all the best. http://summerwinetours.co.uk

Not sure how profitable it would be, but a desperately needed service nonetheless.

I believe it was looked into, I understand the vehicle used was no longer suitable for purpose, with new regulations meaning more money than the vehicle was worth was needed to be spent to bring it up to current regs, I also dread to think what the insurance cost would be these to run a service like that these days

Would it be possible to book him for private prebooked tours?

I think the insurance company would have a problem with it going up some of those steep roads and narrow lanes, I had to close my eyes in parts of it.

I think I read somewhere he'd retired.

I think it was mentioned on here that Colin had retired , we could club together and buy a Mini Bus and Cap for Roger, Terry, Pearl or Leigh [can't afford the Pasties for Tony to do it]

Pretty sure you don't want me driving, him in doors refuses to get inn the car if I'm driving! Not sure what his problem is.

Thats reminds me of something ...

I'm the backseat driver in our house but carring a sticks looks like a good idea.
