Expansion of coach company will benefit passengers in Rugby borough and create jobs for drivers
Passengers in the Rugby borough will benefit from the expansion of a coach company.
Johnsons Coaches has opened a new depot between Ryton and Princethorpe, creating fresh openings for drivers.
The business, part of The Coach Travel Group, is strengthening its prescence across the Midlands.
It follows the recent launch of the company’s Birmingham depot and brings Johnsons Coaches’ network to four operating locations.
The new depot will support existing operations and growing demand from education, corporate and private hire customers.
Facilities include office space, staff welfare facilities and on-site parking for coaches and staff vehicles.
A key focus of Johnsons’ expanding depot network is to reduce dead mileage and improve operational efficiency.
By positioning vehicles and drivers closer to customers, Johnsons can reduce unnecessary vehicle movements, improve response times and make better use of its fleet across the Midlands.
The expansion is expected to create additional opportunities for drivers.
Ashley Brown, Managing Director at Johnsons Coaches, said opening the new depot is an important step in Johnsons Coaches’ continued growth across the Midlands.
"Rugby and Coventry are key areas for our education and corporate services and this investment gives us a stronger local presence,” Ashley said.
“With vehicles and drivers based closer to our customers, we can reduce dead mileage, operate more efficiently and provide greater flexibility across the region. At time when costs are increasing across the industry, improving the efficiency of our network is also an important part of helping us manage those pressures for our customers.”
