- Clearer design and navigation for users

- More comprehensive information for investors, such as a fully searchable archive of Stagecoach Group Regulatory News Service announcements dating back to 2001
- Worldwide Contacts tool, making it easier for customers to contact Stagecoach companies around the globe
- A Media Image Library, with a selection of high-resolution photography from the Group’s operations as well as company logos and pictures of Directors
- Online access to the Stagecoach Group internal newspaper On Stage
- More comprehensive links to Stagecoach consumer websites and other external sites
The website has been developed in line with the Royal National Institute for the Blind’s “See It Right” accessibility criteria, allowing navigation by screen readers and voice browsers.

The graphic design helps to communicate the Group's core business values and the site is easy to navigate. The key corporate messages are easily identifiable and the depth of information available has been improved.
