Bus Named After Local Hero

We have officially named one of our buses after a local hero, Gregg Sandall.

Gregg served with 1 PARA and was tragically killed at just 22 years old in April 1989 in a car accident in America, where he was posted at the time.

He was a very popular and well respected soldier, missed by his family and many friends to this day.

Outside of his service for the Armed Forces, Gregg received a police commendation for coming to the aid of a young female who had been involved in a hit and run outside of our bus garage on Parliament Street. Closer to the family home in The Meadows, Gregg also helped a young man who became very unwell at the bus stop and, with the help of one of our drivers, ensured an ambulance was called and the man looked after.

Gregg’s parents Sandy and Marina attended the unveiling on Wednesday 24th May, which took place at the bus stop on Robin Hood Way where Gregg assisted the unwell young man.
