Buster Werkenbak has successfully enabled hundreds of people to access employment in areas with very poor public transport, with funding provided by Warwickshire County Council and Advantage West Midlands.

Buster Werkenbak provides a demand responsive transport service collecting passengers from local pick up points and taking them to and from work for only £1.50 per journey.  The service is designed to enable access to areas that otherwise would be inaccessible without a private means of transport.

We are now actively looking at the possibility of opening up the service to the residents within Tamworth as we feel they may be in a position to benefit from the services we have to offer.

Tamworth is famous for its rural views and idyllic atmosphere with a large area classified as green belt land.  However living with all this beauty has its price.  One of these is poor regular public transport, which makes travelling to work in and around the area almost impossible without your own transport.

This is where Buster Werkenbak comes in.  For the past five years Buster Werkenbak has been providing a demand responsive service in Birmingham and North Warwickshire collecting passengers from local pick up points and taking them to and from local employment sites which would normally be beyond their reach.  There are more than five major business parks within ten miles of Tamworth but little reliable transportation to them.  The Service would also be able to take you to interviews or training courses.

Buster Werkenbak is overwhelmingly popular with our regular users and in a recent survey many expressed their reliance on the service to retain their current jobs.

“Without funding services like this would be unable to operate, which would mean a great deal of people unable to get to work.” - Robert Brown CEO Merlin Venture Ltd.

Operating Monday to Friday between 5.30am until 10.30pm we are currently able to take residents of North Warwickshire to work at Hams Hall, Kingsbury Link and Birch Coppice Business Parks as well as across the region.

We hope to start offering our services to Tamworth residents but need your help.  If you are a Tamworth resident simply send an email with you name and postcode to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or if you are an employer we can come out to see you to discuss your needs.  If we can find sufficient demand we will approach Staffordshire County Council for additional funding.  We are keen to offer these services to an even wider area including Tamworth but need evidence of the demand.
