Talk:Cobb & Co

New Zealand
I've split the NZ section out into it's own article since it was really a separate and unrelated operation there. See Cobb & Co. (New Zealand). BigBadaboom0 15:34, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Cyberbot II has detected links on Cobb and Co which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally.

Rewrite of Sept 2016
I have removed much of the text that was inaccurate, and references to a modern bus company that uses the name, but has not direct connection to the topic of the article. Replica coach photos are now at the end, contemporary photos of coaches in action in the body of the article. Its not the case that Cobb & Co was the one organisation for most of its existence. As Sam Everingham has pointed out, if Cobb & Co had been a franchise, Freeman Cobb and colleagues would have made a fortune.Nickm57 (talk) 10:42, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Post-1955 use of name
Noting the Sep 2016 rewrite mention above, Bill Bolton MBE (1905–1973) acquired the Cobb & Co. name after a legal case in Queensland, Australia. So it was used on transport trucks and buses through to at least the early 1970s. See the BOLTON article for more specific details, and supporting references.

Surat
This sentance has a weird link in it...

"Australia's last horse-drawn stagecoach service was run by Cobb & Co from [Yuleba] to [Surat] in Queensland on 14 August 1924"

I highly doubt that a Coach Service ran from a small town in Australia to a city India, the Horses would drown en route.--24.77.16.87 (talk) 17:58, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * So what confuses you? There is a town in Queensland called Surat. What's this article got to do with a city of the same name in India? Nothing. By the way, the word is "sentence".Nickm57 (talk) 12:29, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
 * You can rest easy. The link now points to Surat, Queensland. Doug butler (talk) 13:19, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
