Transdev and NCT working in partnership to deliver excellence at NET

NET has been short-listed for the tramway operator of the year award at the UK Bus Awards.

The Street Transit Award is open to the operators of street-running systems using innovative infrastructure, rolling stock or operating methods that demonstrate delivery of consistently excellent customer service and raise the profile and effectiveness of public transport in responding to current travel requirements and the physical and social characteristics of the communities served.

Colin Lea, NET Marketing Manager said, "We are delighted to be shortlisted for this new award and hope that come November 1st our unique mix of patronage success, reliability and high quality of product offer will combine to see us crowned tramway operator of the year."

The Awards’ aim is to spread the quality message so that it is not just confined to pockets of excellence but becomes so widespread that the bus will be seen as a logical alternative to the car for many journeys – with all the environmental, communal and economic benefits that will bring.

For the industry to achieve widespread awareness of the good work that is being done, to improve the image of the bus and to achieve significant modal shift, the Awards - the original and undoubtedly the best public transport awards scheme - must continue to inspire, recognise and reward the achievements of those who set the standard. Winners of the UK Bus Awards demonstrate the best the industry has to offer.

The winner will be announced at the Awards Presentation which takes place at the London Hilton on Wednesday 1 November.
