SIX bus drivers have made it to the national finals of the Bus Driver of the Year competition.
The finalists, all from First Bus’s West Yorkshire depots, will compete in Blackpool on September 6, against more than 100 drivers from across the UK.
Craig Pemberton, driver training excellence manager at First Bus, said: “Our drivers deliver day in, day out for customers with skill and dedication.
“They will be facing tough competition from around the country, including the many colleagues from other depots.
“I wish all of them the best of luck in the finals and hope we can again call one of our drivers the Bus Driver of the Year.”
