Large scale coach transfers
Sometimes it's necessary to load and move hundreds or even thousands of people from A to B within a very short time slot.
This requires a large number of coaches in the same place at the same time.
The transfer must be run like a military operation, with supervisors on the ground and well-briefed drivers, otherwise the potential for confusion and delay is considerable.
Benefit from Redwing's experience
We are very experienced at planning and executing precision operations like this. Because we own a large fleet of 75 coaches we can usually carry out very large transfers without needing to sub-contract work to secondary operators, which is what a smaller coach company would be forced to do. By keeping all the work in-house we can ensure the perfect quality of our service.
The result is a smooth, fast transfer of perhaps thousands of people within a very limited time slot.
Advance planning is essential
Considerable advance planning is necessary, often including negotiations with local authorities and the police for permission to park numerous coaches at and around the pick up and drop off zones.
Our advice: Large Scale Transfers are strictly for the experts. Don't take risks using smaller, less experienced operators. The potential for disaster is too great.

Case Study: Pricewaterhouse Coopers annual Children's Christmas Pantomime
Each year we're delighted to be involved with Pricewaterhouse Coopers when they bring in children by Redwing coaches from boroughs all over London to see their Christmas pantomime, at the Peacock Theatre just off Queensway in central London.
When the performance ends every day, we have just twenty minutes to load 1,000 children on to more than 20 coaches right outside the theatre and clear the area.
Bearing in mind that twenty coaches parked end to end would take up nearly 300m, this is quite an achievement in a busy central London street!
