Filming on buses

We don't usually allow filming on buses that are actually in service. However, outside peak commuter hours you can hire a bus that will look like the bus on the route you wish to film, complete with driver.

Bus stations and depots

You can't film in most working bus stations and depots. Some operators will allow limited filming as long as you meet the costs of providing filming supervision.

If you would like to explore any of these options, please contact one of the bus operators below. In most cases you will need to give at least seven days' notice.

You will also need to provide them with:

Proof of insurance
Description of what you will be filming and what the film will be used for
Number of people involved in filming
Times you would like to film
How long you expect to film for
