A slightly different post than usual… From a young age, I’ve been passionate about the bus industry, and yesterday, I made my dream of driving buses a reality by passing my PCV test! Thanks to everyone who’s supported me along the way! 🚌😁

Some bunny’s been busy… 🐰🥚 Our Easter guest hopped in to spread a little joy across our depots, handing out eggs and putting smiles on faces all round. A cracking way to celebrate, and a small thank you for the hard work that keeps our services moving every single day. ❤️💙 #Easter #TeamGNE #GoNorthEast #EasterVibes #EasterBunny

Something a bit different yesterday. I went along to @gonortheast’s launch event for their new batch of fully electric buses. These 29 brand-new EVs will allow another 3 of their routes to transition to smoother, quieter, and greener electric operation. 🚍 ⚡️🌳

🎅 Santa Bus 2025 – what a year! 🎄 The #GNESantaBus returned for its 6th year, travelling over 550 miles and once again spreading festive cheer to thousands of people across the #NorthEast. Proud of everyone involved who helped make it so special! 🚌💚

Merry Christmas everyone!🎅⛄️ @gonortheast @TheGoAheadGroup

From all at Go North East, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎄

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 👏

🏥 Our Santa Bus and team visited Sunderland Royal Hospital with Louies Trust last night to deliver presents to children who are in hospital over the Christmas period.⁠ ⁠ 🪀 Our colleagues have donated gifts to Louies Trust and helped to wrap the presents ready for them to be gifted.⁠ ⁠ 🎁 All children received a present from Louies Trust and some children got onboard the Santa Bus to dance and sing to the music. ⁠ 💫 We love being part of such an amazing cause, bringing joy to the children's faces and making Christmas at hospital that bit more magical.

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 ☺️
