Coachbuild Quality project notes

Our customer: Buffy Bus Association (c/o Uttlesford Council).

The project: A Double-decker playbus
Customer’s brief:

The Buffy Bus Association needed a new bus as the old bus they were using had come to the end of its working life. They purchased an existing playbus which needed quite a bit of attention and asked CQ to take on the refurbishment.

Coachbuild Quality’s solution:

The layout of the existing playbus would not fit into the requirements of the Buffy Bus plans. With help from the customer CQ re-designed the layout to suit their every needs.

CQ then proceeded to:

Remove 90% of the existing equipment
Fit a disabled ramp at the front of the bus
install heating & roof vents
Transfer the kitchen area from the rear of bus to the front
 
……and, using bright and practical materials, created:
seating and kitchen area at the front of the bus
disabled access- toilet and baby changing area
sand/water area and cupboards
painting, reading & computer areas
soft play /ball pit area
……externally,

Removed 2 windows and re-panelled
External bodywork
paintwork & vinyl livery
The outcome:

A playbus in which the layout would make it a safe, and easy place to work comfortably.
