More than 300 bus drivers have been recognised for their driving standards and dedication to road safety.

Stagecoach South, which operates in Winchester, celebrated the achievements of 308 drivers who have earned Fleet Elite status, an award given by driver safety specialists GreenRoad.

The recognition is based on consistently high safety scores and professionalism behind the wheel throughout 2025.

Marc Reddy, managing director of Stagecoach South, said: "These are really impressive result that show how much effort our teams have put in to ensure we run a safe and smooth bus service each and every day.

"Huge congratulations to everyone who has achieved Fleet Elite status.

"As a bus operator, the safety of our staff and passengers is our number one priority, so I am extremely proud that such a huge number of our drivers have been recognised for their driving excellence.

"We know that our customers rely on us, so we cannot get things wrong when we are out on the road.

"Our drivers continue to demonstrate their commitment to achieving the highest standards, day in, day out."

Among the group, 84 drivers reached 'Grand Master' or 'Master' Fleet Elite status for maintaining top standards of safe and fuel-efficient driving for 10 and four years respectively.
