Exciting news! Working with @PocklingtonHub we have launched an approved free national bus and coach driver training resource for all trainers and operators as part of #CatchTheBusMonth - working with @CPT_UK, @DVSAgovuk, @transportgovuk & @BrightonHoveBus
Narrated by Paralympic Gold medallist @loraturnham and developed with our volunteers, these materials will reach over 95% of local UK bus services and around 65 per cent of coach operators.

@martinsymcox@AllianceMBS@PocklingtonHub@EmmaHughes168 It was a great day, two great presentations and no doubt lots to follow up on in the reports. Such a pleasure working with @AllianceMBS and your wonderful students. It was great to stay and see the other group presentations too, a very enjoyable and insightful day.
Fantastic presentations from @AllianceMBS students today. Extremely professional and confident delivery and very well thought through content based from detailed research. So much opportunity to follow up on for @PocklingtonHub. @EmmaHughes168
Huge thanks to Victoria @AccessBuses, Nick, Dean and Dave for showing us your new accessible buses!
The team @PocklingtonHub are looking forward to working with you to increase driver awareness in the sector making bus journeys inclusive for all.
