A very entertaining on board team on the Kings Cross 12.14 @LumoTravel - fully expecting them to get off for the Edinburgh Fringe! Also great to see a lovely chap helping with baggage too! A successful trip all round with our mini tennis player! 🎾🚝 @richardsalkeld

Andrea and the team at Sunderland Soup Kitchen work so incredibly hard to make a difference to the local community. Thanks for letting us be a small part of it yesterday @AndreaB69479191 ✨
Some of our drivers volunteer at Sunderland Soup Kitchen throughout the year, driving the mobile homeless support horse box through Sunderland, ensuring that support is provided to those who need it ❤️ Santa's team of elves also got involved last night, swapping wrapping presents for serving meals in the Soup Kitchen! 🍲 It was great to get involved with the incredible work that Sunderland Community Soup Kitchen do and lovely to bring joy to the local community with the Santa Bus 👏

The power of social media! It was an absolute delight to meet Molly and her family this morning. We had a tour of the Santa Bus, a brand new bus and went through the bus wash too! Happy birthday, Molly. Have the best week of celebrations ✨🚌🎄 @liamhall24 @gonortheast
Update! Thank you SO much to @gonortheast for giving the best start to Molly’s birthday and Christmas week. She even got to go through the bus wash AND a set of stop bells! An absolute massive thank you to Laura & Liam for organising this ☺️

Every time ❤️🚌🤩 A huge well done to our lovely Mick for taking to the streets of Newcastle this Thank You Day!
Do you thank your bus driver? 🚌 To mark Thank You Day, our very own Mick Handy - Elite driver training instructor by day, radio presenter by night - hit the streets of Newcastle to find out if Geordies really are the UK’s friendliest! He asked one simple question: “Do you thank your bus driver?” The answers might surprise you! 👀 A little kindness goes a long way - saying thanks as you hop off the bus can truly make a driver’s day! 💛 #ThankYouDay #GoNorthEast #newcastleupontyne #newcastle #cannygnedriver #toon

Spotted this little beaut in Morpeth this afternoon! No one in the driving seat to ask if I could have a quick pop up to the top deck, so had to admire from afar! 🚌❤️
