A renewed commitment to matching services to the needs of both residents and visitors to the Fylde coast has earned Blackpool Transport the prestigious title of Bus Operator of the Year.
After scooping a Gold Award in the small to medium-sized operator category at the UK Bus Awards, it went on to be named the overall winner at a high-profile industry event in London.
The prestigious accolade recognised the transformation of bus services on the Fylde coast over the past 12 months, which has seen the successful launch of new branded services, including the Cleveleys Connections and Lytham Line.
Additional early morning, evening and weekend buses across the network have also proved a huge hit with the travelling public and, as part of the award judging process, ‘mystery passengers’ took to the network to see for themselves the many service improvements made by the operator.
