@BadmintonCapps @alexhornbyrail Thank you!

@alexhornbyrail @AndrewWickhamGo Congrats Andrew!

Huge congratulations to ‘The Gaffer’ @AndrewWickhamGo on a well deserved MBE for all that he’s given to the bus industry. A great leader and proud to call him a great friend.

Pleasure to see Tony @SalisburyReds last week to celebrate his 25 years with us. He’s worked as a driving instructor & has taken over 70 of our drivers through their test, and is currently working on our demand responsive service at Pewsey. Thank you for your loyalty & hard work.

I'm on the Isle of Wight. Southern Vectis printed publicity as impressive as always. @SouthernVectis @AndrewWickhamGo

I met Andy, Workshop Manager at @HDTrim yesterday to celebrate his 30 years of continuous service. He started at @BrightonHoveBus as an appreciate and came to us in 2013. Thank you for your loyalty and hard work over the years, Andy.

The votes are in across our various social media channels and The Needles Breezer @SouthernVectis has won the UK Open Top Bus Cup 2024, sponsored by @joinBlink It won 79% of the votes against the fabulous 599 Bowness to Grasmere @StagecoachCNL Well done both routes!

@Morebusco @AndrewWickhamGo used the M2 from Parkstone to Bournemouth yesterday for the airshow. What an absolute pleasure. Friendly and polite driver and a spotlessly clean new bus. Effortless to buy ticket on app and track bus arrival. I really should use the bus more often!

Thank you for visiting us @Morebusco this week. Really interesting and useful discussion.

Here’s Rio who part of our @unilinkbus team at @BluestarHQ and I saw last week to celebrate his 25 years with us. Now a proud grandad, he has worked on just about every service we’ve ever operated ! Thank you for your loyalty and hard work, Rio.

How important is heritage to today's bus operators? @AndrewWickhamGo is among @DavidTShep's guests for Ep3 of @Bus_Inspectors #Podcast, coming soon. Enjoy a preview and exclusive video tour of #GoSouthCoast's immaculate 1979 Wilts & Dorset Bristol VRT. youtube.com/watch?v=5rqk8I…

@AdamKBus @funkytownlondon @ImberbusUK @DenisStrange It was Wilts & Dorset in Salisbury and beyond until NBC days which then merged W&D with Hants & Dorset; everything became H&D but was painted red instead of H&D green. When Hants & Dorset was split in 1983, what is now morebus and Salisbury Reds became Wilts & Dorset.

@funkytownlondon @AndrewWickhamGo @ImberbusUK Bit before my time but I would have thought they would have been Wilts & Dorset, being near Salisbury? Bound to be others here that will know better - Maybe @DenisStrange ?

My old gaffer @AndrewWickhamGo at the wheel of 4413 at this years @ImberbusUK - Great to see so many familiar faces 🚌

@hadleyac Thank you for coming yesterday, they look great and are good for lighting and security as you say. Yet another product of our great partnership, along with the new buses. And it’s clearly working, with, for example, plenty of people boarding this @Morebusco m2 yesterday.

Interesting yesterday, meeting Miss Dibbens great niece, looking to get her shop & yard back into use - itching to run a flower shop, cheesemonger, delicatessen or similar ? To Poole Bus Station, totems now installed to brighten the space & improve security. @AndrewWickhamGo

@WStone4SN Thank you for coming to see us - very useful discussion.

I had the pleasure of visiting Swindon's Bus Company today! We discussed the challenges that local bus services are facing. We often forget the vital role they play providing transport that brings people together. Thank you to Andrew for extending the invite.

Here’s @PaulCoy80542275 , Operations Manager @SwindonsBusCo who I saw yesterday to celebrate his great 35 years with us. Paul’s dad was a conductor for @gonortheast so buses are in the family! Thank you for your loyalty and hard work, Paul.

To Bournemouth yesterday evening on a new bus on @morebus m2. Excellent drive and customer service from Dave here and lots of passengers - just shows what a successful partnership between a bus company and the local council can achieve.

..2/2 attract to our company. Thank you for your loyalty and excellent work Chrysie.

Here’s Chrysie, who I saw yesterday to celebrate her 35 years with us. Starting as a conductor, she’s now the Operations Manager for all ⁦@BluestarHQ⁩ . One of our most highly valued people, she’s also a great role model for the extra women we wish to… 1/2

@thisisjkerslake @Morebusco @passengerteam I believe that Poole Bus Station opened in 1968.

Hey @Morebusco/@AndrewWickhamGo - @passengerteam are on a quest today using your network, would you be able to help me out with a bonus question and tell me date the current bus station opened on its site now?

@BusAndTrainUser One of the country’s best open-top services (the other Breezers being the competition!)

Britains most precarious open-top ride and bus stop.
