About
Our Story
Sunbury Bus Service & Sunbury Coaches
Sunbury Bus Service and Sunbury Coaches was established in 1980 when Richard Baird purchased a small, 8-vehicle school bus operation from WJ Treweek. In the years that followed, the business expanded to include touring coaches and route service vehicles. A small route service consisting of North and South routes commenced in Sunbury in 1982. These 2 routes remain today as the 481 and 485 routes, although the vehicles and routes look very different today than when they first began.
Sunbury’s fleet is now over 110 vehicles and consists of school buses, mini buses, low-floor route service buses, electric buses, touring coaches and safari trailers.
Sustainability and Accessibility
At Sunbury Bus Service and Sunbury Coaches, sustainability and accessibility are fundamental principles that guide our operations.
The inclusion of electric buses in our fleet highlights our commitment to reducing environmental impact and promoting cleaner transportation options, paving the way for a greener future. We believe in making transportation accessible for everyone, so our buses are designed to be disability-friendly, and equipped to accommodate passengers with diverse needs ensuring that all passengers can travel comfortably and safely. These values drive us to continually improve and innovate, ensuring we serve our community responsibly and equitably.
