Free Conference 2025 | Future of Bus and Coach Sector | Leeds

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.

Expect thought-provoking speakers, legal and policy expertise, and real-world perspectives to help future-proof your next steps.

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
  • Policy advisors and consultants

Join the conversation on Tuesday 16 September 2025 at the Clayton Hotel in Leeds.
