East London Group: Britain's biggest indepenaent

摘要

To most people, the East London Bus Group is virtually the same as it was over a year ago when named Stagecoach London. Yet behind the scenes an enormous effort has transformed it from part of one of the best-known UK bus groups into a stand-alone subsidiary of Australian-owned Macquarie Bank. 'I've never ever been busier,' says chief executive officer Nigel Barrett. That's because the agreement transferring Stagecoach East London and Stagecoach Selkent into the new group left just a year to set up its own systems for all functions — 40 main ones as well as numerous subsidiary ones — that Stagecoach carried out centrally at Stockport.
