Minister for coaches

Tuesday, November 30, 2010

Local Transport Minister Norman Baker caught a coach recently - to our new £15 million, station in Birmingham.

He was shown around by our MD, Andrew Cleaves, and the station's General Manager, John Jones. And after greeting some of our customers, he commented that, "coach plays an integral part in providing affordable, convenient travel across Britain and I've been thoroughly impressed by the facilities at Birmingham Coach Station. This site sets a benchmark for the standard of passenger care and innovative technology".

The station welcomes around two million visitors to the city every year and is the largest coach interchange point in the UK. After showing Norman Baker our new Traffilog, Alcolocks and Magic Floor lift systems, Andrew said it was "a great opportunity for him to be briefed on what we're doing to improve the service".
