People
To offer the best service, we need the best people – today and tomorrow. We invest in our colleagues with award-winning apprenticeships, ongoing training and development, and tailored initiatives to increase diversity in the transport industry.
The people behind Go-Ahead
Go-Ahead is powered by 27,000 dedicated colleagues across six countries. Each day, they work in their communities to provide millions of public transport journeys that are reliable, safe, accessible, and tailored to local needs.
Our team is made up of a diverse range of people, each bringing unique skills, experiences, and perspectives. Whether they’re driving buses, maintaining trains, managing operations, or serving customers, our colleagues are united by a shared commitment to delivering high-quality services and making a real difference to the lives of our passengers – wherever they are.
CareersGuided by our values
Go Ahead’s values define who we are. They guide the actions, behaviours and the choices we, and our colleagues, make every day.
We promote a devoted customer-first culture backed by our people, our assets and our ability to collaborate as a trusted partner with local communities and authorities. It is the ‘Go-Ahead Way’ which interlinks our values, our structure and processes, and our way of working. We care for our customers, our communities, our assets, our environment and our people.

Investing in our people
Without our people, we couldn’t deliver the essential bus and rail services that communities rely on. That’s why we invest in our colleagues every step of the way.
From award-winning apprenticeships that shape the next generation of transport leaders to recurrent training that ensures our teams stay at the forefront of the industry, we are committed to providing opportunities for growth and development at every stage of a career. Our management programmes equip future leaders with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed.
We’re also dedicated to supporting more women in the transport industry through our Go-Ahead Women and Women in Rail initiatives. By investing in training and improving facilities, we’re creating more inclusive opportunities and encouraging women to pursue careers in bus and rail. This commitment to diversity helps us build a stronger, more dynamic workforce, while inspiring the next generation of the transport industry.
