Playbuses & Conversions

Many buses find second homes as they are converted for a different use. With seats removed from a double deck bus there is ample space for a host of new specifications – all with the added advantage of being mobile! The most popular coversions are;

• Playbuses
• Mobile toy libraries
• Mobile creches
• Towdabouts (mobile playgrounds)
• Mobile youth-work facilities
• Mobile advice centres
• Mobile IT suites
• Mobile arts venues
• Mobile environmental projects
• Dance troupe buses
• Religious group mobile classrooms

We support The National Playbus Association, which is currently being rebranded as “Working On Wheels” and are listed as such. If you are looking to become involved with Playbuses we strongly recommend that Working On Wheels are contacted as they can provide both general advice and an information service. They are also a one stop service that helps evaluate the best type of vehicle for the use, designing it, assisting with the vehicle acquisition and tendering for the conversion and correct project management.

When it comes to the interior conversion from service bus to Playbus then perhaps the best people in the business are The Playbus Company. Here you will find that Debbie and Steve can produce the best looking and most up to date conversions available. Whereas years ago a Playbus was probably best described as a shell of a bus with a few sand pits and a slide, nowadays they are virtually a Kids Ball Park on wheels – Take a look at some of the following pictures of conversions undertaken by The Playbus Company.

Here at South East Bus Supplies we will recommend anyone straight to Debbie and Steve where your bus will emerge a completely different vehicle, conforming to all the latest Health & Safety regulations so you can be sure that your children are safe whilst they are onboard. For more information contact The Playbus Company here. We also work closely with each other to make sure you have the best bus for the job too!

As you can see from the list above, it is not just Playbuses that are a useful second life for a double deck bus. Below are some pictures of a bus that we converted to a mobile cafe – this bus is now in Northern Italy! Whatever your use for an old bus (or new one) talk to us first…
