A CENTRALISED bus engineering company is being established by the Scottish Bus Group as part of its reorganisation to fit into the liberalised bus operating regime.
Scottish Associated Vehicle Engineering (Save) is to control all bus overhaul works run by SBG companies with the exception of the Northern Scottish works in Aberdeen.
There already is a strong degree of partnership in Aberdeen between Grampian Regional Council and Northern, which share the services of chief engineer David Toy of Northern, Mr Toy will join Save's management team, however (see p8).
