Drivers from Milton Keynes bus operator, Stagecoach East, have been recognised for their exceptional driving standards and dedication to road safety in 2025.

Driver safety specialists GreenRoad monitor the performance of drivers across Stagecoach East 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 to improve passenger and driver safety, reduce risk, and save lives.
In total, 66 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.
“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,” said Darren Roe, Managing Director of Stagecoach East, “Huge congratulations to everyone who has achieved Fleet Elite status!
