Our Ref:        FOI-3512-2425

Thank you for your request received on 2 February 2025 asking for information about the ‘Bakerloop’ consultation launch. 

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we do hold the information you require. You asked:

Please can you specify the cost of taking an active bus, EBD21, out of service, wrapping & re-trimming the seats for the Bakerloop consultation launch? If possible, please can you break down the costs into - operator compensation & cost of labour/materials for the wrap & re-trim.

The bus used during the launch was loaned to us by Go Ahead and was not procured specifically for this event. It was fully de-branded after the consultation media launch event.

Please find the costs broken down in the table below:

Please note that there was no cost to loan the vehicle or driver from Go Ahead or for the production, installation, and removal of some of the internal branding – namely the linear route maps, Superloop roundel, and thank you stickers. 

If this is not the information you are looking for please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely
