Looking forward to the CILT(UK) annual awards with team Green Line 702 & 703, Thames Valley Buses and Reading Buses!

Our first President’s Award has gone to Joe Wood, who was an exceptionally talented individual and regarded as a rising star of the bus industry. His father, Gary Wood, has been presented with the award posthumously. #CILTawards19

Privileged to be present at the CILT(UK) dinner to see my former Reading Buses colleague Joe Wood honoured with the Presidents Award recognising the huge contribution he made to the industry in such a short amount of time. Joe, you are missed and I was glad to be here for this.

Congratulations to Reading Buses for winning the Passenger Service Innovation award sponsored by FORS. They have been recognised for their expansion plans and safeguarding of the future of the business whilst facing adversity. #CILTawards19

I’m pleased to report that Reading Buses have been recognised by CILT(UK) for the successes of our Greenline operations by winning the Passenger Service Innovation Award. A fantastic result. A massive thank you to every employee who has worked so hard to make this possible!

Really pleased with the Reading Buses Metro cover wrap which is part of our campaign promoting our app. It’s looks great and received a very positive response!

Thanks Album Bus

An early start today in Slough watching (& trying to assist but ultimately getting in the way) Thames Valley Buses roll out for their first official day of operation. A lot of hard work & effort from everyone involved has allowed us to launch this exciting new offer in Slough!

Heathrow now to witness day 1 of the trial operation of the 459 service from LHR to Iver. The service run in partnership with Heathrow Airport will use alternative fuels. Currently we have an Optare electric solo in service with a gas option to be trialled at a later date.

A great first run for the all electric 459 today, finishing back at the depot with 36% still in the “tank” after 5 round trips⚡️👍

Impressed with our first SmartMirror vehicle Reading Buses from Alexander Dennis. Very clear vision. No more dirty or broken mirrors!

One of the more interesting forms of service disruption today Reading Buses as our bus is boarded by an avian fare dodger, who is refusing the move despite our best efforts. Enough to bring me out of Twitter retirement. We’ll get some stale bread to lure it down…

Thank you Album Bus, thank you Lothian Buses , and thank you Edinburgh for a fantastic Album conference. Some interesting and thought provoking discussions around the topics of customer, people, product and policy. #ALBUM2023

Very proud of our engineering team Ipswich Buses Official for supporting the Ipswich Community Playbus. After 21 yrs of service 'Maggie' is retiring, with the recently completed 'Dennis' taking over. I'm sure he will rise to the challenge!

It's a special kind of calm after the hustle and bustle of the main run-in Ipswich Buses Official and prior the late buses arriving at Constantine Road. As always the Presentation Team have done an excellent job of fuelling, cleaning and parking our buses ready for work tomorrow.

A busy weekend of supporting our community Ipswich Buses Official. On Saturday one of our buses will take part in the Windrush 76 Heritage & Legacy Festival at Murray Park organised by Ipswich Windrush Society . Why not make your way down and join the celebration?

Then on Sunday, another of Ipswich Buses Official vehicles will take part in the Nagar Kirtan Procession which starts at the Guru Nanak Gurdwara On Bramford Road and end at Christchurch Park. We are really excited to support important local events like these!

Windrush 76 We are proud to be taking part in Windrush 76 on Saturday 22 June. Our Driver Carlisle preparing to attend the Windrush 76 Parade. Why not come and join us? #proudofipswich

Stumbled across some classic Ipswich Buses Official service info today. It's really easy to forget the importance, usefulness & ease of 'analogue' publicity. There's a certain power & permanence in putting something like this in someone's hand. A good reminder to me!
