A TEAM of bus drivers who serve the children of Keighley have been honoured at a national bus operator's annual awards.

Transdev, which serves areas across the north of England, held its third annual Amazing Awards, recognising the bus drivers and staff on its services who go above and beyond to serve their communities.

Picking up the Team of the Year award was Keighley Bus Company's Schools Team, at the ceremony held at Bradford's National Science and Media Museum.

The team was honoured for "carefully managing a seamless move to a new depot while constantly providing a top-class service every day to school pupils" in Keighley and surrounding areas.

Alex Hornby, chief executive, said: “Whether they drive our customers safely to their destination, make sure every bus is safe and reliable, or provide the best support behind the scenes, our fantastic people are at the very heart of our shared success.

“The high standards set by everyone on the shortlist for our third annual Amazing Awards made choosing our winners a challenge, but one I certainly enjoyed and it made me exceptionally proud.

“We believe in three things – employing people who are happy to work with us, serving people who are proud to be our customers, and creating a business which is innovative and successful. Those core values shine through in every one of our Amazing Awards winners – we’re proud to celebrate their passion, performance and pride in delivering an outstanding service, every day.”
