More than 300 bus drivers have been recognised for achieving the highest standards in road safety.

Stagecoach South has celebrated 308 of its drivers in 2025 for earning ‘Fleet Elite’ status through the GreenRoad driver safety programme, which monitors and rewards sustained safe driving.

Marc Reddy, managing director of Stagecoach South, said: "These are really impressive result that show how much effort our teams have put in to ensure we run a safe and smooth bus service each and every day.

"Huge congratulations to everyone who has achieved Fleet Elite status."

Fleet Elite recognition is given to drivers who consistently demonstrate outstanding safety scores and professionalism behind the wheel.

Eighty-four of the drivers also reached ‘Grand Master’ or ‘Master’ status, celebrating 10 and four years respectively of top safety and fuel-efficient driving.

Seven drivers maintained a perfect GreenRoad score of zero throughout the entire year.

Mr Reddy added: "As a bus operator, the safety of our staff and passengers is our number one priority, so I am extremely proud that such a huge number of our drivers have been recognised for their driving excellence.

"We know that our customers rely on us, so we cannot get things wrong when we are out on the road.

"Our drivers continue to demonstrate their commitment to achieving the highest standards, day in, day out."
