When Greater Manchester took back control of its buses with the Bee Network, over 1,600 vehicles and 577 routes had to be switched over without disruption. We played a key role in the process from start to finish and that experience is why we’re a trusted partner for the next franchise mobilisation in another county.
Our engineering teams have proven their worth. Whether it’s a whole-city handover or a single depot launch, we make sure buses keep running and passengers never notice the pressure behind the scenes.
We understand the unique challenges that come with franchising mobilisation, from TUPE transfers to last-minute operational changes. That’s why we offer full engineering support, vehicle movement and management cover as part of a flexible mobilisation package.
Our IRTEC-trained PSV engineers handle vehicle preparation and handovers, while our leadership team ensures the right people are deployed for every task. We work collaboratively with operators and the combined authorities to keep costs under control, spend transparent and mobilisation seamless from day one.
