Vast Expansion - new outstation and a new depot

Our expansion is to continue in the next two to three months effecting our newly formed South East fleet  - more details on these soon - with a new outstation and a new depot.

From the 26th July, we will be opening a new depot in the Berkshire town of Bracknell. Here we will be taking over the operation of withdrawn First Bus routes 90, 94 and many more including commercial town services. However, the first route to be taken over will be route 90 with the rest following in late August when First Bus close there Bracknell depot. Route 90 to Reading via Workingham will become under our 'Crimson' brand with brand new double decker buses due shortly for the route. This new depot will be opened under our new South East division.

From the 30th August, we will be opening a new outstation in the Hertfordshire town of Hemel Hempstead which will see buses from our Aylesbury depot along with maintenance being completed there. This depot is being opened to takeover some of the services that are due to be withdrawn due to council funding but we also hope to operate other services in the town in the coming years.

These new depots and outstations will spark many changes within the group due to finances as well as many fleet movements to accommodate the new services.
