A BARNSLEY bus driver has made a lasting impression on passengers to be crowned the town’s favourite driver for outstanding customer service.

As part of Stagecoach’s customer service week, Jeffrey Mann was voted the most valued driver in the customer service stars campaign for his commitment.

The campaign set out to scout the most committed bus drivers who go the extra mile for their passengers and provide the best customer service and saw more than 350 people vote for their favourite driver.

Sue Hayes, Stagecoach Yorkshire's operations director, also took to Barnsley Interchange to talk to passengers.

Jeffrey, who joined Stagecoach 12 years ago, said: "I take great pride in what I do so it’s fantastic to have been rewarded for what I love doing.

"I try and give the best service possible so this is fantastic recognition."
