Stagecoach bus drivers recognised for outstanding driving quality

19 Jan 2026

An outstanding 202 Drivers from local bus operator, Stagecoach, have been recognised for their exceptional driving standards and dedication to road safety, throughout 2025.

Driver safety specialists GreenRoad monitor the performance of drivers across Stagecoach and award a ‘Fleet Elite’ status to drivers who demonstrate sustained driving excellence, as evidenced by outstanding safety scores and displaying true mastery of the driving profession.

The aim is to inspire a continued focus on road safety and offer a source of pride for drivers who help improve passenger and driver safety, reduce risk, and save lives.

In total, 55 local drivers have reached ‘Grand Master’ or ‘Master’ Fleet Elite status for having maintained the highest standards of safe and fuel-efficient driving for 10 and four years. In fact, three of Stagecoach’s local drivers - Chris Manley of Barnsley Depot, James Roddis from Chesterfield, and National Express driver Mark Cleeton - achieved a perfect GreenRoad rating of zero for the entire year!

Matt Kitchin, Managing Director of Stagecoach Yorkshire, 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!”

Meanwhile, Operations Director, Bill McCartney, added: “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.”
