Metroline has a fleet of 1,682 buses and operates across 99 routes, mostly in London. It employs 5,000 people and in 2012 carried over 250 million passengers.
Metroline needed to replace the fire extinguishers on a number of its buses whilst setting up a process to ensure that appliances on its entire fleet were serviced in a timely and logical manner.
Safelincs has taken on the annual servicing of all extinguishers on the company’s buses. As extinguishers come to the end of their useful life, Safelincs provides replacements.
“Each time a bus has its MOT, one of our engineers will ensure that that the on-board extinguisher is serviced and, if necessary, replaced,” explained Stuart Baxter, Business Development Manager at Safelincs.
All of Safelincs’ work is carried out in accordance to BS5306 and certified by BAFE approved engineers.
Metroline is being supplied with specialist extinguishers to suit the needs of its fleet and now has a structured, cost-effective process for ensuring that they are regularly serviced and replaced when necessary.
“We have a duty of care to ensure that our passengers remain safe,” said Nik Phiniefs, Head Buyer for Metroline . “We selected Safelincs because they were very professional and totally transparent in their dealings. There are no hidden charges so we can accurately forecast our expenditure.”
