We are delighted to announce that Britannia Coaches has officially become a member of the Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT) — the UK's leading trade association representing the bus and coach industry.
What is the CPT?
The Confederation of Passenger Transport represents around 800 operators across England, Scotland and Wales, from large multinational transport operations to family-run businesses like ours. CPT is recognised by the UK Government as the official voice of the bus and coach industry and plays a central role in shaping legislation, safety standards and operational best practices.
Why This Matters
CPT membership is widely regarded as a mark of quality and professionalism within the passenger transport industry. It signals that an operator is committed to maintaining the highest standards in safety, compliance and customer service.
As a CPT member, Britannia Coaches now benefits from:
- Industry-leading compliance support — access to the CPT Compliance Manual and expert guidance on regulations
- Government representation — our interests are represented directly to MPs, ministers and policy advisors
- Professional development — continuous training and workshops to keep our team at the forefront of industry standards
- Industry intelligence — exclusive access to market data, safety updates and operational best practices
What This Means for Our Customers
For our passengers and clients, CPT membership provides an additional layer of confidence. When you book with a CPT member, you know you are choosing an operator that:
- Meets rigorous industry standards for safety and compliance
- Is committed to continuous improvement and professional development
- Has access to the latest regulatory guidance and best practices
- Is part of a network of reputable, vetted transport operators
Building on 30+ Years of Excellence
This membership builds on our existing accreditations, including our Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire Bus & Coach Operators Association membership, FENSA certification and comprehensive insurance coverage. Combined with our CPC-qualified, DBS-checked drivers and modern fleet, CPT membership further strengthens our commitment to providing the safest, most professional coach travel in the region.
We are proud to join the CPT community and look forward to continuing to raise the bar for coach travel in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and beyond.
