Fleet Options Suitable for Emergency & Contingency Transport
A flexible fleet ranging from people movers to full-size coaches is available for rapid deployment during outages, weather disruptions, site closures, or continuity events. Vehicles support fast mobilisation, safe movement, and coordinated evacuation or replacement services.
50, 53, and 57-Seater Coaches
Full-size coaches are ideal for high-volume replacement services, emergency shuttles, and rapid mobilisation during rail outages or site evacuations. They offer efficient loading and capacity for large groups.
33-Seater Midi Coach
Midi coaches support medium-volume contingency operations where full-size coaches cannot manoeuvre or are not required. Suitable for temporary replacement routes, site relocations, or controlled pick-up points.
Minibus Hire (11–24 Passengers)
Minibuses enable agile response in emergencies, supporting flexible routing, smaller evacuation groups, and access to narrow suburban streets. Useful for weather disruptions, unplanned closures, and short-notice deployments.
7-Seater People Movers
7-Seater People movers allow fast-response movements including small-group evacuations, staff relocation, or access to constrained sites. They are suited for on-call or rolling mobilisation requirements.
