Details around organisation of and speakers at the 2025 ALBUM conference have been revealed. It will be hosted by Nottingham City Transport (NCT) between 12 and 14 May next year at the East Midlands Conference Centre in the Nottingham University Park Campus.

Accommodation will be at the Orchard Hotel, with an exclusive rate of £109 per night for delegates. Technology provider Passenger and Yutong supplier Pelican Bus and Coach are headline sponsors of the event, and attendance is open to all in the bus industry.

Conference business will commence on Monday 12 May with golf and conclude on the evening of Wednesday 14 May with the traditional gala dinner.

NCT Managing Director David Astill has encouraged all from within the sector to attend. “Once again, the legislative framework under which the bus industry operates is entering a phase of once-in-a-generation structural change,” he says.

“In the debates to be had, we must not lose sight of the priorities of new and existing bus users; that is, services that are frequent, punctual and reliable, operate with modern low-emission and easily accessible vehicles, with easy and simple ways of paying the fare, live departure information, and friendly staff.

“At our conference, we will be exploring the ways to achieve this based on best practice. I encourage all bus professionals to attend. This really is the perfect time to be having this debate.”

Among speakers confirmed for the 2025 ALBUM conference are:

  • Ian Downie, Head of Yutong UK, Pelican Bus and Coach
  • Roger French, former Brighton and Hove Buses Managing Director and BusAndTrainUser blogger
  • Andy Gibbons, Programme Manager (Buses), Leicester City Council
  • David Leeder, Co-founder of Transport Investment Limited
  • Tom Quay, CEO, Passenger
  • David Sidebottom, Director, Transport Focus.

Speaking about the event, Mr Downie says: “It is an absolute pleasure to have the honour to be a headline sponsor of the ALBUM conference 2025 in Nottingham. The conference is a fantastic opportunity for our industry to debate the current issues and grasp the opportunities that will be presented.

“An added bonus is that it is being hosted by Nottingham City Transport, providing the opportunity to ride on its state-of-the-art Yutong single-deck buses.”

Adds Mr Quay: “Passenger is delighted to be a headline sponsor of the ALBUM conference 2025. It is an important fixture in the bus industry calendar. We are very much looking forward to spending time with colleagues in Nottingham – a city that has been so instrumental in Passenger’s own journey.”

Conference and accommodation bookings, stands and sponsorship opportunities will be available via the ALBUM website from mid-September.

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
