Connecting People and Communities – Today and Tomorrow

Go Thames Valley brings together some of the most trusted and recognised transport brands in the region, including Oxford Bus Company, Thames Travel, Carousel Buses, Pulhams, Pearces Coaches and City Sightseeing Oxford. Together, we provide vital bus, coach and sightseeing services that help people access work, education, healthcare, leisure and tourism opportunities across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Gloucestershire, the Cotswolds and beyond.

As part of The Go-Ahead Group, we are committed to creating a transport network that is accessible, sustainable and built around the needs of our customers.

Innovation and Improvement
We continuously invest in our people, technology, vehicles and infrastructure to improve services and help shape the future of public transport.
