Stagecoach East
We’re Stagecoach East and we provide local bus services in Cambridge, Huntingdon and Peterborough, as well as Bedfordshire. We are part of Stagecoach Group, the largest bus operator in the UK.
We’re proud to be many things to many people. Pop into town on one of our local services. Heading further afield for a day out? We’ll get your journey off to a great start. Need to find an easy, affordable way to help your staff get to work? Our Commercial Team is ready to help.
Whatever your transport needs, We’ve Got You!
Our customers
Our customers are at the heart of what we do. Whether it’s Steve on his way to a job interview, Finn taking the school bus, or Jasmine heading to her early-shift at work, our services are an important part of the community.
We love our regular customers, getting to know their routines and sharing in their day-to-day lives. It’s always great to welcome new faces on board, too, and we’re happy to help get them where they need to be.
Our people
It’s our people who make our service special. They do more than make the wheels go round; they are the very spirit of Stagecoach East. From bus drivers, to engineers, cleaners and customer service staff, there are over 800 of us working together locally to make sure we provide a fantastic service for our customers.
That’s a lot of people and creating an inclusive workforce is a responsibility that we take seriously. For instance, we’re proud to say that the number of female bus drivers continues to grow each year and we celebrate diversity across the whole business – take a look at the video we did for International Women’s Day
The future of Stagecoach East relies on supporting our region’s young people. We’ve been at the forefront of championing apprentices in our workforce for years, with an award-winning apprenticeship scheme.
At whatever stage of your career, if you have the skills and a passion for customer service, then we want to hear from you. Find out more here.
Our environment
It’s never been more important to do the right thing when it comes to our environment. That’s why we continue to tackle climate change and boost air quality with each new vehicle that enters our fleet.
It’s about more than just our environmental responsibility on the road. Our company initiatives have helped cut buildings emissions by 21% and Stagecoach Group has been awarded the Carbon Trust Standard for measuring, managing and reducing our global carbon footprint.
Our region
We are proud to have over 40 year’s history serving the people and businesses of Cambridgeshire. We know our communities because we are part of our communities. And that means we know what it takes to run a reliable service across our busy and dynamic region – we consistently run over 99.5% of the miles we are timetabled to run.
In 2024 we struck a unique partnership – Buses and Businesses Against Abuse – with the Police and Cambridge and Peterborough Rape Crisis Centre, which sees every one of our buses become safe-spaces for anyone – particularly women and girls – fearing violence.
Our services
Our mission for every journey is simple: get everyone safely where they need to be, every day.
If you’ve got a journey to take, we’ve got a service to help you make it. Even if you work a little further from home, our interurban services will help you get there.
Plus, our Commercial Team can arrange travel for events, businesses, and rail replacement.
We’re constantly working hard to increase the quality, reliability and frequency of our bus services to offer car users a realistic transport alternative. Not only will this help with the usual congestion and car-parking hassles, but it’ll also help the environment by taking more cars off the road.
