Frazer Eagle Cars

Whats going on there then? Frazer Eagle have the building that used to be Perrys on Milnshaw Lane and have erected a sign saying Frazer Eagle Cars. What's it going to be car hire, chauffeur, taxi's or have they branched out into car sales? Anyone know?

I saw that a week or so ago, I reckon they are getting into sales.

You could be right entwisi but I was thinking it is quite possible for them to openng some form of taxi type thing. They have the garage for in car maintenance and the forecourts for off street parking and also a lot of business would go their with via feeder taxi's for their coachs.

Sure someone will nowfor def.

what happened to frazer eagle coaches anyway? weren't they in church at one point?

There main call centre offices are at Simonstone now (or they were not so long ago). They did have offices at Globe Centre Hyndburn Homes have taken over them now. Their coaches were kept on the industrail units behind Blackburn Rd West End Ossy near the 20 steps not sure if they are still there.

I think Busman knows where they garage the coaches. They've come a long way since they were "Frasers" and did day trips to Blackpool etc from Water Street.

Is it Frazer with an 's' .... Fraser

It's only since the edit buttons gone I can see how many typos and spelling errors I make!

WillowTheWhisp · 14-11-2006, 17:10

I'm fairly sure it's an 's'.

Tinkerbelle · 14-11-2006, 17:17

Yeah mtheads just said it's an 's' too

I went past there this morning and noticed a car hire firm had set up. Didn't notice the name cos I was nearly past when I noticed the cars lol.

If it's FE would it not be obvious, they will have taken the roof off the showroom

Car Hire

Now that does surprise me! I didn't think there'd be a need for such a business. Oh well they have become so successful by making bad business decisions, they must know what they're doing.

Someone from C/O taxi's have gone to work for them and that person drives a mini-bus doing airport runs tinks.......so not sure if it is to be a taxi firm or not??

Yeah that's the kind of thing I thought they'd be doing. That makes sense.

They now have their coaches at an industrial unit in Padiham,the nameof which escapes me.We went away with them last year,and had to be transferred by one of their cars to Padiham to board the coach.The driver was telling us quite a few thousand was going to be invested in this site.

False alarm on my part. The one I was on about isn't Milnshaw Lane. ( I am excused for not knowing the street names cos I not moved yet

)

The one I'm on about is the road that runs past Asda, was it a BMW showroom, across from the school.
