@ThompsonCJ91 Best wishes for the future. Reliance has always been an operator to look to as an example of good independent bus service provider. I enjoyed using Reliance services around Thirsk this year. Quality. Good luck to all involved in future projects 👍

Great to see this in action as I conclude three days out and about on our services among my normal duties. Thanks to Lead Driver Steve for this pic from Holmfirth this morning, I was glad to see it in action in Barnsley this afternoon. A good 3 days of observation and learning.

@acsnottingham A rare and special moment when you can live the dream of driving your childhood bus route. This was my latest...means a lot. If you're in Arnold then not far from my brother @TDovecote who migrated to Nottingham two decades + ago.
Out now at all good news establishments, containing a 6 page feature from me about my visit to Millbrook Proving Ground to test drive Alexander Dennis's next generation small single deck and double deck electric buses.
