Together with the new fleet transferred is the existing contracts which are mainly a morning college contract which is undertaken by one of the Excels (the other is a spare) and some Social Service contracts. The Levantes are mainly used for 'Rail Replacement' work. Shropshire Bus and Coach did not run any registered services.

Already based at the new Shrewsbury depot is Volvo B10M / Berkhoff VLT483 which undertakes the Telford run from Reaseheath College. As yet no other vehicles are based here.
