First Bus will field the largest contingent in the Bus Driver of the Year final, with 36 drivers qualifying from across its #UK depots. The final will take place in #Blackpool on 6 September, with current champion Michael Leech, from Halifax, seeking to retain his title.
First Bus drivers will account for around a third of the 100-plus finalists. #Yorkshire is the best-represented region, with 11 drivers, followed by East & Midlands with 10, South & West with six, and #Scotland, #Wales and #London with three each.
Finalists were selected through driving assessments, including performance, technical skills, manoeuvres and customer interaction, alongside records covering speed, braking, turning, accidents, near misses and customer feedback.
First Bus is also offering £1,000 to its highest-placed driver and £500 for second place.

This short walk on #Yorkshire’s coast, which may benefit from onshore breezes, takes you from the pretty village of Runswick Bay which is a joy to wander around to Kettleness Hamlet. Easy return via the Cinder Track old railway route. See https://www.happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/NorthYorksMoors/Runswick%20Bay%20to%20Kettleness/Hiking%20Pages%20-%20Runswick%20Bay%20to%20Kettleness.htm

Welcome to north England's ONLY chalk coastline: Flamborough Head and Bempton Cliffs.
Last time I visited this area was 2015, so I was WAY overdue a revisit. Pretty lovely, eh?
There's plenty more photos from this day, just head hither -> https://www.iancylkowski.com/posts/flamborough-east-riding-yorkshire-summer/ 👍

A busy summer's day along St Ann's Staith on the Whitby waterfront in North Yorkshire.
I know the town can become a bit rammed at this time of the year, but many of the local businesses depend on the footfall and it would be a totally different kind of Whitby without the holiday makers and day trippers.
Note the 'Dracula Experience' which draws on the town's connection with the 1897 Bram Stoker Gothic horror novel 'Dracula'.
In more recent years, the theme sees two 'Goth Weekends' taking place with a music festival and gathering attendees dressing up in elaborate gothic, steampunk, and Victorian attire.
The narrow historic streets and famous 199 Whitby Abbey steps become something of an open-air catwalk.
On a personal note, the location connects with my love of Cornwall and fondness for a real authentic Cornish pasty, thanks to the Proper Cornish Pasty Co's shop!

Digital pay-as-you-go rail ticketing trials across #Yorkshire and the East #Midlands have been expanded to unlimited passengers following early success. The scheme, operated by Northern #Railway ahead of the launch of Great #British #Railways, uses a GPS-enabled app to calculate the lowest fare automatically, removing the need for physical check-ins or advance ticket purchases.
Following more than 30,000 trips across the initial Leeds–Harrogate and Doncaster–Sheffield lines, passenger caps have been removed, and a third route connecting Leicester to Nottingham via Derby has been added to the project. Extended until September 2027, the trial forms part of a £156 million government programme to simplify fares, reduce evasion, and modernise public transport across the regional rail network.

A perfectly peaceful scene in Hawes, Wensleydale and the Grade II listed Church of Saint Margaret of Antioch, where in the nearby pasture, 'sheep may safely graze' (cue JS Bach!).
This North Yorkshire market town is associated with the eponymous cheese, made using traditional recipes handed down from French monks in the 12th century.
No small thanks to the stop-motion claymation characters 'Wallace and Gromit', created by Nick Park at Aardman Animations, that Wensleydale cheese is probably known around the world with Wallace famously adoring its taste and flavour and proclaiming to Gromit to it being a particularly "Cracking cheese!"

West #Yorkshire Combined Authority and the five West Yorkshire councils have launched the Regulation 19 consultation on the draft Mass #Transit Spatial Development Framework, a joint planning document to guide development alongside the proposed Mass Transit network between 2026 and 2050. The framework aims to support new homes, jobs, services and public spaces in locations that maximise the benefits of improved public #transport, while providing a consistent approach to land use, regeneration and transport across the region. Once adopted, it will become part of each council's statutory development plan. This final consultation focuses on whether the draft is legally compliant and sound before it is submitted for independent examination. The consultation runs from 4 August to 27 September 2026.

My friend Grumpy John is running his seventh annual Cider Festival this Saturday, 8th August in Bradford, West Yorkshire. A HUGE range of real "whole juice" ciders and perries from around the UK, hand chosen by Grumpy John who is an absolute master of cider production. Good food and music too. It's a nice relaxed community vibe - go and support the independent real cider industry!
From 3pm at the Kirkgate Community Centre in Shipley.
