Stagecoach buys South Glos

摘要

Stagecoach West has exchanged contracts to acquire South Gloucestershire Bus & Coach, with completion of the deal expected by late October. Patchway, Bristol-based South Gloucestershire already operated several Megabus.com services for Stagecoach, using coaches provided by Stagecoach. The deal includes the depot, 100 employees, a fleet of 53 buses and coaches, as well as commercial bus services, school contracts and private hires. 'This is a really exciting development for passengers in the West of England,' says Stagecoach West managing director Rupert Cox. 'We've been working in partnership with South Gloucestershire Bus & Coach for some time now and it has also been a very reliable and trustworthy contractor for our Megabus. com services.
