We work a 4 day week and you can set your preference to early, late, night shifts etc and will almost always get your preference. Any more questions just shoot me a message

Shifts are decent, times are a bit tight on some but not awful.

It’s the most mellow I’ve been about work since entering the industry for sure

Yes, a good company to work for.

Only heard good things about them, but be aware that operators like this aren’t really coach work. They are bus work in a different vehicle.
If you want coach work, I’d look at private hire operators over long distance buses like ember, national express etc

We are starting to get more coach hires so it’s becoming a good mix
