Coach & Bus Week was founded in Hull by former coach proprietor Terry Beanland as Coachmart. Its most prolific journalist was Ray Pearson, who covered all technical aspects, including road tests and tourism topics. The weekly magazine was purchased by EMAP and moved to Peterborough, where it has remained. EMAP sold the title to Rouncy Media Ltd in 2005. Rouncy is currently being wound up by Court Order.[1] The magazine has been published by Coach and Bus Week Limited since 2012 and is edited by Gareth Evans.
The supplement publication, Minibus, is published with Coach & Bus Week every four weeks and is edited by James Day.
It is linked with Group Travel World, a monthly magazine for the group travel industry. As well as being sent to all full subscribers of Coach & Bus Week, Group Travel World has its own paid subscription list and is published by GTW Media Limited.
