About South East Bus Fleet

Founded by Christopher T in 2019, South East Bus Fleet started as a collection of fleetlists for our founder's local operators, 'Arriva the Shires' Wycombe Depot', as well as 'Carousel Buses'. We then created the Discord bot and added 'First Berkshire and the Thames Valley' to the bot.
