Coachbuild Quality project notes

Our customer: Bar’n’bus

The project: A Double Decker Youth bus
Customer’s brief:

Bar’n’bus were given a donation from Grays Police Authority of a double decker bus and some money to convert it into a youth bus. Their specification and layout was as follows: - Lower deck with seating – storage – breakfast bar with hob and sink. Upper deck with seating – quiet area with door – two areas for TV and play stations.

Coachbuild Quality’s solution:

CQ started by removing the existing bus seats and handrails. Once the bus was an empty shell CQ could plan how to use the space most effectively.

CQ then proceeded to:

Remove all the existing cushions and get them re-upholstered.
Replace the existing seating with bench seats.
Cover walls in fire retardant carpet.
Replace flooring with lino and carpet.
 
……and, using bright and practical materials, created:
 
Serving counter with storage, hob and sink.
TV cabinets with storage in lockable cupboards for play stations and DVD’s
Bulkhead with a door for a quiet area with seating.
The outcome:

A youth bus and social bus for the Grays area.
