TWO bus drivers have been recognised for their achievements at the Amazing Awards.

Eamonn Wall, a bus driver for the Coastliner between Malton and Leeds, has won the Lifetime Star Award, alongside a highly commended rating, placing him among the top bus drivers in the north.

Billy Crute, who also works for the Coastliner, received a highly commended certificate in the Driver of the Year category, praised for his “naturally down to earth manner and happiness”.

“I am really happy to have been recognised - I think my colleagues see how I go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly, and if they have any problems they can come and see me,” said Eamonn.

“I have been here for 21 years, and my favourite part of the job is seeing our customers happy.

“I’ve got to know the regulars really well, and when everyone else is happy, I’m happy.”

Alex Hornby, CEO at Transdev, said: “Our Amazing Awards, hosted in Bradford, celebrate the pride and passion of the teams and individuals who deliver a high-quality service for our customers, every day.”
