TfL Director of Buses Glynn Barton

Recently-installed Transport for London (TfL) Director of Buses Glynn Barton (pictured, above) – who also holds the position of Interim Chief Operating Officer – is to leave the organisation at the end of May. Mr Barton will take up the position of Chief Operations Officer of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council.

Mr Barton was named incoming Director of Buses by TfL in early December 2023. It said then that he would take up the role in March, but now notes that he did so late last year.

A recruitment operation to source a successor as Director of Buses will now commence. The Chief Operating Officer role will be taken up on a full-time basis by Claire Mann, currently Managing Director of FirstGroup subsidiary South Western Railway, on 3 April.

A handover period will commence then ahead of Mr Barton’s departure. Ms Mann will announce any interim arrangements for Director of Buses once she is in post.

Mr Barton has been Interim COO since October 2022. In that position he is responsible for ensuring that TfL’s directly operated and contracted services and operations are planned and maintained effectively.

Over 22 years with TfL, Mr Barton has held various senior operational roles, including at the London 2012 Olympics and for the implementation of cycling infrastructure across the capital. He was also heavily involved in transport for the Platinum Jubilee, the passing of HM Queen Elizabeth II, and the coronation of Charles and Camilla.

Speaking about his departure from TfL, Mr Barton says: “I have always worked to put customers at the heart of what we do. It is difficult to leave a role that is as fulfilling as supporting and improving London, but it is the right time for a new challenge.

“And in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, I will be working to serve an area in which I grew up and for which I have great affection.”

With BCP Council, Mr Barton will oversee all the local authority’s in-house place-based services. His role will cover a range of service areas including environment, planning and destination, investment and development, commercial operations, infrastructure and customer, and arts and property.

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."
