It's good they give recognition to people who've been with the company a long time. I said it before Tony you should get your favourite bus named, if you have one that is

On the subject of naming buses, why are pensnetts named buses only stickers unlike wolverhampton.
Wolverhamptons were named by the pblic and so painted on when they arrived at walsall
4376 has been named after Graham Nash in recognition of 50 years service to Public Transport. Is this both YW's first named bus and the first Trident to be named?

WN Trident 4535 was named. Can't remember what. (Not investing in Wolverhampton. I know that)
Damn, will have to keep an eye out for that one!
Noticed a BC Trident with the name Noel Mulvey on it earlier, I'd never noticed before

Its BC's Union Rep, nicest chap in the world. Gets you out of all sorts of sh!t. I think he's done 50years.
For anyone who wasn't already aware 4817 at PN is named after a severely autistic child Edward Littlehales, who loves that bus.
Don't know why he likes that one so much as it's an absolute nail.

It was named after George Dovey, long serving employee who tragically lost his fight to cancer. They never did re-apply his name once it was repainted.

Because it's always been my favourite (before I even rode on it), plus it's one of the fastest ones, and now has a nice whistle!
Why do you like 4609? It sees a hill and runs the other way ;)
