The Burnley Bus Company took the coveted Gold award in the Putting Passengers First category for its ‘Make My Mainline’ market research programme, which inspired the key features of a £4.5m. fleet of 30 new buses in Burnley – the company’s biggest investment in Lancashire. Each bus includes many of the best ideas suggested in the research results.

The buses took centre stage at a family event at Burnley’s Queensgate Bus Depot, which raised over £1,500 for the company’s adopted charity in 2017, Help for Heroes.
