The recent lovely weather has offered great opportunities to provide some services with the world's only open air Optare Solo! 'Pennine Air' has been out and about on a variety of routes this week and our wonderful customers love it.
Here are some pictures of today's Holmfirth to Barnsley service from relief Lead Driver Steve with a full and happy bus ready to start its journey.
Watch out for significant service improvements and new travel opportunities to and from the Holme Valley from early September, as we continue our mission of developing cross-boundary bus travel. Breaking boundaries to connect communities!
Huge thanks to our much valued driver Adam, who used his own time to help our loyal passenger Biba in painting her fence. Biba has used our Calderdale based services for many years now and is source of great support to our team of drivers. Great thanks to Adam who has shown the South Pennine spirit and we are mightily proud of him!
