Change brings opportunity.
16 September, Leeds — Join transport operators, decision-makers, and sector leaders to explore what’s next — and how to move forward, better prepared.
The bus and coach sector are entering a new era — shaped by re-regulation and changing operating models. Route Forward is a free, half-day conference hosted by Backhouse Jones and the Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT), designed to help operators, local authorities, and transport professionals respond with insight and practical strategy.

From adapting to new models to staying competitive in a shifting market, we’ll explore:
- How to respond to re-regulation and franchising frameworks.
- Smarter ways to deliver services and build stronger partnerships.
- Practical takeaways from across the sector.
Who should attend?
- Bus and coach operators of all sizes
- Local government transport teams
