At ConnectTransport, Ed Cameron outlined how Whippet Buses, part of the Ascendal Group, is strengthening service delivery and operational performance through the deployment of a Depot Allocation system.
Drawing on his experience leading operational transformation, Ed explained how smarter depot planning is helping the business run a more resilient, efficient network while improving outcomes for passengers and local authorities alike.
Since joining Whippet, Ed has led a programme of modernisation across the operation, securing new local authority contracts and embedding data-driven decision-making at every level of the business. The introduction of depot allocation has played a key role in this progress, enabling better use of fleet and staff resources, reducing dead mileage, and supporting more reliable service delivery.
Ed shared clear, measurable results from the initiative, demonstrating how targeted operational innovation can deliver tangible commercial and customer benefits across a growing bus network.
