Central Buses[1] was a bus company based in Birmingham, England.

History

Central Buses was founded in September 2003 by 16-year-old Geoff Cross.[2][3]

Later, a separate arm of the company was created. Centrad was created under the CEN Group brand, which Central Buses also joined. This supplies electronic equipment to the bus industry.[2]

Many of the services operated by Central Buses were operated under contract to Transport for West Midlands. All buses were equipped to use prepaid fare cards.[4][5][6][7]

In February 2018, Central Buses was purchased by Rotala for £1.95 million, with its 23 services and 31 buses taken over by its Diamond West Midlands subsidiary.[8][9][10] Operations ceased at the conclusion of services on 24 February 2018.[11][12]

Fleet

As of February 2018, the fleet consisted of 31 buses. Fleet livery was red and grey.[11] Шаблон:-
