Congrats to Sidmouth, Seaton and Honiton, officially awarded Coach Friendly Status yesterday! This #NationalCoachWeek milestone means there are now 6 Coach Friendly locations in the Peninsula Transport region which launched its Coach Action Plan earlier this week with CPT's support.

To celebrate #NationalCoachWeek, CPT's Coach Manager Phil Smith wrote a guest blog for our friends at Campaign for Better Transport. He gives an outline of the value of coaches to the UK transport mix, and touches on our recent report into the economic value of coaches. bettertransport.org.uk/blog/coaches-a…

We couldn't celebrate #NationalCoachWeek without having some serious conversations about zero emission. Our Policy Manager, Nick, caught up with Maynes coaches about the fantastic work they've been up to in Scotland to kickstart ZE innovation. Read now: tinyurl.com/44m2khww

Thanks to Labour MP Alex Mayer MP advocating for coaches in #NationalCoachWeek. Outlining the economic benefits - contributing £6.4bn to the economy - shows why the govt needs to put coaches at the heart of the integrated transport strategy. Read now 👇 tinyurl.com/yhdj35wy

This #NationalCoachWeek we’re proud to award Coach Friendly Status to Dunfermline, Scotland’s ancient capital and one of its newest cities - recognising its commitment to welcoming coach visitors with excellent facilities and group-friendly experiences. Congrats to all involved!

Alnwick has once again been recognised for its outstanding welcome to coach visitors this #NationalCoachWeek, as CPT re-awards the town Coach Friendly status! With 3k coaches and 150k visitors annually, coach tourism brings in around £4.5m to the local economy.

We recently spoke to Alex Mayer MP to discuss her The Fabian Society pamphlet on how buses can power growth. She echoes our view: franchising isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. We need bus priority measures that help services run reliably and get people from A to B quickly & affordably.

Earlier this year, we submitted our response to the govt’s Spending Review - making the case for why buses are essential to economic growth. Now’s the time for bold, long-term investment in buses to keep the UK moving and growing. Read in full: cpt-uk.org/news/confedera…

“the worst it’s ever been” – a warning from the front line of bus and coach operations. In his latest routeone Magazine column, CPT President Paul Lynch shares a view on the worsening conditions facing our industry, from roadworks to falling traffic speeds. route-one.net/opinion/coach-…

The CPT was saddened to hear of the death of Andrew Wickham MBE, a widely respected and admired figure in the bus industry, over the weekend. We offer our condolences to his family, his friends and to his colleagues at The Go-Ahead Group.

A warm welcome to Myhills Minibuses, the newest member of CPT! Specialising in reliable and luxurious minibus & coach travel for private hire and day trips, Myhills is committed to delivering top-quality service for every journey. Great to have you on board!

Over the last 8 yrs, bus operators have invested £2bn+ in clean vehicles. Every £1 of public funding can leverage £2.50 of private investment, but we need the government to commit to continue investing and keep the UK at the forefront of clean transport. tinyurl.com/ypnyvwhr

We love seeing people use buses in their awareness campaigns! Not only is Brother Green making use of his free bus pass, but he's also been able to highlight some key things we're campaigning on including the impact of roadworks and the comfort of buses! telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/05/0…

The Second Reading of the Bus Services Bill is taking place in the House of Commons today. We've been working to make sure the government hears from operators and considers all avenues for improving bus services across the UK. We'll be continuing this work as the Bill progresses.

We welcome today's investment announcement from the govt. It's vital the money is used for priority measures, to speed up buses and cut emissions. But this funding needs to be matched in next week's spending review with both capital and revenue funding cpt-uk.org/news/cpt-respo…

A big welcome to redesigntransport, the newest member of CPT! With a mission to make public transport the mode of choice through positive publicity, smart promotions, and improved attractiveness, Redesign Transport is here to support operators of all sizes. Great to have you with us!

We're calling for meaningful investment in buses in Wednesday's Spending Review. Buses are key to economic growth, helping people earn, learn and spend. Now is the time to invest in buses and see the growth they bring to local and national economies. cpt-uk.org/news/confedera…
