Excellent coverage of our Julie, @jimscottjourno πŸ‘. And of course, our #GNESantaBus did amazingly well with fundraising this year, too! @gonortheast @LauraSharp2023
Is this the most festive bus driver in the UK? πŸ§‘β€πŸŽ„πŸŽ… I catch up with Julie from @gonortheast who has spent hundreds on outfits to please her punters What a lady. It’s worth a watch πŸŽ„

The crowds were out in force to see the #GNESantaBus . We gave the big man πŸŽ… a wave πŸ‘‹, chatted with an elf that looked suspiciously like @liamhall24 and enjoyed the festive music πŸŽ„πŸŽΆ.

A few snaps πŸ“Έ from my mornings driving @My_Metro replacement services πŸš‰πŸš§ before the day job. Great effort from our drivers, ops and engineering teams to deliver this on top of our normal network. I'm a big fan of @liamhall24 's announcements πŸ”Š featuring the real Metro voice!

An immense effort from @liamhall24 πŸ’ͺ, not to mention all the associated destination screens. Takes a lot of work to get the details right!
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been adding next-stop announcements as well as custom on-board adverts (to allow us to promote directly to students) to all 100 of our school services. Just another way we’re improving #accessibility & our on-board systems for all our customers!πŸšΈπŸ”Š
