Stephen’s 30 years with Yellow Buses

The popular busman was presented with a certificate to mark the milestone.

Stephen joined the forerunner of Yellow Buses 40 years ago as a conductor and then worked for several other companies before returning.

He has clocked up many thousands of miles across the network in Bournemouth, Poole and east Dorset and has no intention of pulling on his handbrake for good.
He said, “I have seen a lot of change but one thing that has improved are the buses. They are so much easier to drive and the latest ticket machine is the best I have ever worked with.

“It has always been a camaraderie job and I have made so many friends.”

Service delivery director Phil Pannell presented Stephen with the certificate and a token of Yellow Buses’ appreciation of his service.

Phil said, “Stephen is one of those drivers who you don’t see and that is a good thing. He does his job and if he encounters any problems he sorts them out.

“He is highly experienced and reliable and I’m glad he’s got some more years in him.”
