A DAY IN
We carry over 1 million passengers per day,
which means we need quite a few buses to
help people move around! As a result of this
THE LIFE we have 9 garages (10 including Coventry)
across the West Midlands and over 5,500
staff making sure operations and everything
else bus related run smoothly.
Have you ever wondered how
the day starts for our buses?
At 3am most people are safely tucked up in bed, but
not our buses! At this time our first vehicle departs
the garage and the rest of our buses follow. Our
busiest period is between 5am - 7am, as most of our
fleet leaves the garage to start the day and cover the
morning rush hour.
Once the morning peak is over the day shift jumps
into action. Buses that were needed to cover the
peak period return to garage. Some vehicles may
need small jobs completing - such as repairs or
a deep clean - before they are required to serve
during the afternoon rush, so we use this time to
get this work carried out whilst the majority of our
engineering and cleaning teams are on site.
To ensure the afternoon peak runs smoothly, buses
are allocated to routes and the drivers report for
their duties. After this is over, we have our very own Getting the buses back into the garage is one of the
rush when a large proportion of our fleet returns to trickiest jobs, as one of our night engineers has to

When drivers return the buses back to the garage, the morning (which isn’t as easy as you may think!)
they are re-fuelled, washed and then parked up for At this point, our staff bus begins running
