A little more about us

Our Westbourne Park base was built in 1981 to replace two older garages:  Middle Row and Stonebridge.  The location of the garage is unusual in that it has been constructed below the elevated section of the A40.  The garage has a history of running the traditional red London Routemaster but, today, it is home to a modern fleet of vehicles.

Being a bus driver is not only about safe driving, it’s customer service. Getting people/children to their jobs/school on time, picking people up having done a day’s shopping, or dropping them to see friends - you will help with it all!
