✤Stagecoach South East
The company has launched its new Poppy bus, Scania/Enviro 400 15442 into service.
The idea was the brain child of Stagecoach Assistant Operations Manager Ian Loftus. Ian, who served as a Sergeant in the Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, is also an Royal British Legion (RBL) member at Dover.
Joanne Howe, Stagecoach Operations Director for the South East said “We're delighted to support the RBL and the Poppy Appeal. We hope that the Poppy Bus will be a visible reminder of the RBL's all-year-round work and pays a fitting tribute to our veterans and Armed Forces community.
“Through our support we hope we can send a clear message to our Armed Forces communities in the South East that we appreciate and recognise the commitment they have made to our country over the years.”
