Excellent session with Natalie Elphicke Ross OBE this afternoon discussing the value of bus to society and need for ongoing recovery funding to bridge the gap while operators and local authorities work together to grow patronage. Uplifting to discuss with an MP that clearly gets it 🙌🙌

It’s incredibly difficult for the bus industry to recover without the catastrophic issues with roads at the moment. ⁦Stagecoach South East⁩ we’re using social media to try and highlight this huge challenge through this blog. stagecoachbus.com/news/south-eas…

Great session yesterday with ⁦Matthew Arnold⁩ and ⁦Rosie Duffield MP⁩ talking through the challenges and opportunities for bus in Canterbury. So much we can do to improve the service working collaboratively to serve our communities 😊❤️

Excellent day as the Easter Bunny saying thanks to customers and colleagues and having some fun. This matters as much as ever as we turn our mind to the next five years. Strategic planning is so important, but so is giving up a day to spend quality time in amongst the business.

Amazing night at the Stagecoach South East 2023 PATH awards. Our fantastic gold winners saved the life of two teenage stab victims following a horrible fight in the town centre while they were on their break last May. Brave, selfless action. An honour to be able to recognise them ❤️❤️❤️

Hi GeniePoint. Your charging point in Hawkhurst has been broken for 6 months. I’ve faulted it 10 times. To you, it looks like it’s providing a charge. It’s not. It’s my local charger and was amazing for the first month living in my new house. Then it broke. Please fix it 🙏

Great to host Craig Mackinlay at our Thanet depot today, talking through funding, future improvements to our services in Thanet and the £2 fare cap. Just looking at the photo, reminds me I need to book my tickets to some of those excellent gigs Dreamland Margate Shane Guy 🎶

A special day! Very well done to our favourite Saracens Rugby Club on winning the premiership after a rollercoaster few years. Bloody amazing day at Twickenham for me and the boy ❤️

We’re counting down to the summer holidays as our reporter Philip Harrison hops on Stuart Draper’s open top bus for a tour around Thanet including Broadstairs beach and RamsgateTunnels

Good news about fines for over running streetworks. They are the bane of our efforts to run to time. But allowing car drivers in bus lanes? Eh?!? We’ve enough challenges recruiting drivers & negotiating traffic congestion without this vote grabbing, environment ruining scheme 🙄

We’re supporting the #Eastbourne Sustainable & Active Travel Summit today; Joel hammering home the point that #BSIP bus priority is critical to our #Zebra2 bid for 28 battery electric double decks. We all need to #BeBrave to make this work!

Had fun yesterday cooking a BBQ breakfast from 05:00 yesterday for the Thanet drivers and engineers. Joined by the exec and my trainee headchef Stepson (legend). Cooking breakfast at runout is the way forward for 2024 I reckon! 👍👍❤️❤️😂😂😂
