Property description & features

  • Tenure: Leasehold
McEwan Fraser Legal is delighted to bring to the market a unique opportunity to own and operate a well established vintage bus company based in Edinburgh.

The Red Bus has been delivering passengers to weddings and corporate events in and around Edinburgh for over 12 years and has built a strong reputation. It’s a family-run business, operating three vintage Routemaster buses with beautifully preserved original interiors dating back to the 1960’s. The profitable business would be an excellent addition to an existing wedding transport company, a coach company or a hospitality business that holds large corporate events.

The Red Bus has secured significant bookings into 2022 and 2023 and enquiries continue to grow. The company has many existing corporate contracts and is continually receiving new enquiries from both wedding and business clients looking to add something a bit different. The current owners go above and beyond to give each passenger a memorable experience by including a conductor with a vintage ticket machine, decorating the buses with fresh flowers and ribbons and generally going the extra mile to create a unique experience.

The Red Bus operates from an industrial warehouse which is leased. Accommodation comprises: customer reception area, office, warehouse/storage space, staff WC. The current rent is £7,200 per annum, which is subsidised by letting out surplus space.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
