NCT Shortlisted for Large Operator of the Year Award as routeone Awards 2024 Finalists Announced

Nottingham City Transport has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Large Bus Operator of the Year category in the routeone Awards, the most esteemed awards programme in the UK coach and bus industry.

Celebrating excellence across the industry since 2005, the 18th routeone Awards continues to recognise those operators and individuals who have driven innovation and success. 81 finalists have been selected across 15 categories, from exceptional managers and engineers to innovative use of technology and outstanding customer service.

To be considered for a routeone Award, candidates were first nominated by industry peers. Nominees then submitted entries that demonstrated how they met the category criteria. The judging process involved a panel of respected industry experts who meticulously reviewed each entry to curate a shortlist that exemplifies the highest standards of excellence.

David Astill, NCT Managing Director said:

“To be shortlisted in the routeone Awards is fantastic news and an endorsement of the dedication by the whole team at Nottingham City Transport who consistently deliver one of the best bus services in the country. We have made significant investment in our people and fleet over the last 12 months, which has contributed to high levels of reliability, a fleet of 24 brand new zero emission electric buses entering service and passenger numbers continuing to rise. I’d like to offer my personal thanks to everyone at NCT for their hard work and look forward to hopefully sharing success with the team in November.”

Helen Conway, Event Director, comments:

“The routeone Awards stand as a beacon of recognition in the coach and bus industry. Each year, the calibre of entries surpasses expectations, reflecting the dynamic nature of the industry. The finalists announced today represent the very best, and it is an honour to recognise their achievements.”

The winners will be unveiled at a presentation evening on 13 November 2024, at the Vox, Resorts World, in Birmingham. The evening will bring together over 800 industry professionals to network and celebrate with the industry’s high achievers.
