Stagecoach begins bus operations on Guernsey

Stagecoach has taken over the running of bus operations on Guernsey as of 1 April.

The operator won an initial five-year contract last September following a procurement exercise and has thus replaced Tower Transit.

Bus livery will remain unchanged and the buses.gg brand will also stay in use.

Staff from the previous operator were offered the same roles in the new operation, which forms part of Stagecoach’s South West division.

The Stagecoach bus fleet on Guernsey will comprise 42 vehicles and the staff of 71 includes 53 drivers.

The new contract-holder says it has spent the last six months gaining insight into operations, the island and building relationships with key stakeholders.

It adds that passengers can expect a smooth handover with no disruption to the existing services or timetables.

Peter Knight, Managing Director at Stagecoach South West, says: “We’re looking forward to continuing to build relationships with our new customers and stakeholders in Guernsey; providing  safe and reliable travel; that islanders can depend upon to keep them connected to the people and places they need to get.

“The six-month mobilisation period has been invaluable in understanding the unique operating environment and helps us ensure that we can provide a bus service that Islanders can both be proud of and rely upon.”

Meanwhile, a new buses.gg app and website has been launched by UrbanThings.

Available on iOS and Android, the app offers real-time journey planning and key travel information.

Nicole Easden, Business Development and Account Manager at UrbanThings, says: “Technology has the power to transport public transport, making it more efficient and accessible. We’re proud to have worked with the States of Guernsey and Stagecoach South West to deliver a modern, user-friendly solution that puts real-time information in the hands of passengers.”

Laura Oxburgh, States of Guernsey Head of On-Island Travel and Transport Implementation,  adds: “With public transport playing a vital role in Guernsey, it’s important that passengers have reliable, up-to-date information.

“The new app and website will make it easier to plan journeys and stay informed about bus services.”

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."
