Peter Nathanail

@SUFCRootsHall Good evening, we'd be delighted to assist with your coach hire requirements for the 1st June, please email me on peter@transportmadesimple.co.uk and we'd be happy to help.

Great to be out & about in Norwich today where our @SimondsLocalBus team have successfully mobilised Norwich Park & Ride routes PR2 and PR3. Branding and publicity at the sites looks fab too. Exciting times ahead with lots of scope for growth as we develop this essential service.

A great start to the day with a lift down to @Flagfinders Kelvedon depot on the Coggeshall Community Bus. My first time travelling, and it was great, really impressive community service. Good to catch up with our colleagues at Kelvedon depot too.

A nice sunny day to be catching a bus from outside our @CC_EssexHerts Stansted depot. Delighted to be adding this stop back to our growing local network in a few weeks too as we prepare to mobilise routes 322, 323 and 324 for @TravelEssexNews.

Happy New Year! 2025 brings new challenges & opportunities for the public transport sector, & @TMSGroup_, we’re ready. New technology such as AI has huge scope to change how we work, & we need to embrace, but also shape, the change that will bring, for the good of our passengers.

@PandaGaming2222 I have DM’d you 👍😊

@PNathanail hey I am interested but it won’t let me DM you

Who fancies a challenge? We're looking for a new Commercial Manager at our Simonds and Flagfinders operations. Fantastic opportunity for anybody looking to progress their career in public transport. Happy to have an informal chat with any interested candidates, please DM me.

@ignVelix @HighPeakLive Very nice. Clean and comfy on board. No USBs or anything, which is a shame, but handled the steep hills round Mam Tor well. Very nice and warm too, a bonus at this time of year!

@PNathanail @HighPeakLive How are the newer solos, Pete?

Family trip to Buxton has given me the chance for a quick loop round the top of the Peak District, starting with BSIP-funded route 62 from @HighPeakLive - one that’s been on my “to do” list for some time, as it passes through some beautifully scenic and rural areas.

@HighPeakLive Is 16:35 Derby to Buxton definitely cancelled in full? Was hoping to go from Bakewell to Buxton at 18:00.

Sustainable transport options for special events can be limited, especially when they occur in the evenings or on Sundays. We've been delighted to operate special Christmas buses this year for @CHYMLeics, linking rural areas to market towns for Christmas fayres & markets.

Two Norwich Park & Ride sites join the @TMSGroup_ in 2025, as part of our ongoing expansion of our @SimondsLocalBus network. I’m out with our Product team today getting to know the routes we’ll be running and planning marketing and publicity enhancements.

@EastMidRailway Thanks for trying. I’ll get the train to Leicester now. What’s expected to run from Leicester to Loughborough after 19:00? Any trains or replacement buses?

@PNathanail Apologies, I'm afraid the next train will be the delayed 17:58, currently due 18:38. I have spoken to the route manager to see if there are any other trains that can stop, however I'm afraid this is not possible, as those trains have been cancelled. ^DS

@EastMidRailway What is the best train from Kettering to Loughborough currently please? Need to travel within the next hour.

@EastMidRailway I need to get to Loughborough please not Leicester?

@PNathanail Hi Peter, I'm sorry about today's disruption. Please travel on the late 16:54 (currently due 17:39), which will be direct to Leicester. ^DS

Strong biscuit choices at the @TravelEssexNews Winter Transport Meeting. Great to meet a wide range of local passenger stakeholders & representative groups, & discuss opportunities to further develop our network across #Essex. Very few bus problems a chocolate Hobnob can’t fix.

Our capital investment strategy goes beyond shiny buses, & covers important behind the scenes assets as well... like shiny vans! Two brand new, fully customised service vans hitting the road for @SimondsLocalBus and @CC_EssexHerts, with full safety and welfare facilities onboard.

Great to see the hard work of our @CC_EssexHerts team recognised here. We've invested significant resource into new fleet, enhanced branding & marketing, and depot upgrades for our colleagues, and the results out on the road & in our patronage statistics speak for themselves👏👏

Productive afternoon in #Leicestershire auditing bus stops with our local authority partner @CHYMLeics, as part of our ongoing programme of roadside infrastructure improvements. Always nice to have an excuse to take the van for a spin!

@centralsimon Really pleased to report that demand for route 25 into Alwalton Hill in Peterborough is strong too, and that route is exceeding expectations. More locally focused marketing planned for Peterborough in the coming months as well.
