Garages and Buses
Uno operates from a head office and garage in the Hatfield Business Park. The garage and offices were purpose built and opened in 2003. Following the takeover of Centrebus' St Albans operations, Uno continued to operate them from the St Albans garage. However, this was subsequently closed and operations centralised at the Hatfield location. As a result of winning the Northampton University contracts a depot has opened at the Park Campus of the university as of 01/09/12.
