really good service awards
2024
Every year we hold our annual awards, where we celebrate all the amazing things our team do.
But we're not just there to have a good time. It is important for us to celebrate and reward those members of our team that have excelled in their job and have gone that extra mile.
Our success is not just a result of our hard working drivers, it's also driven by talented young apprentices, dedicated engineers, committed admin staff and IT whizz kids who all play their part in steering us in the right direction.
The really good service awards ceremony was hosted by radio presenter Andy Miller and featured as star speaker the Celebrity Masterchef 2023 winner and ‘Go Compare’ singer Wynne Evans. An “absolutely faultless” bus driver has won the top prize in trentbarton’s 2023-24 really good service awards.

it's official, we have the best bus drivers in the country
Our trentbarton drivers have been judged by customers as the best in the country, coming top out of 55 bus operators in the England-wide survey by the independent watchdog Transport Focus of more than 35,000 bus journeys.
In the Your Bus Journey survey and report, our drivers were the national number one for satisfaction, with 93 per cent of customers surveyed saying they were satisfied or very satisfied with their bus driver.
We have been ranked sixth out of 55 operators in the league table for overall journey satisfaction, with 87 per cent of customers surveyed saying they were satisfied or very satisfied, just four percentage points off the top spot. And we were also in the top ten for satisfaction with value for money.
Tom Morgan, trentbarton’s managing director, said: “An outstanding driver is what makes an everyday bus journey a great experience, so for our drivers to be the best in the country is a fantastic achievement.”
trentbarton heartlands of Greater Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire also performed well in the survey. Nottingham was named top city in the UK for bus passenger satisfaction and Nottinghamshire was crowned the top county.
