A BUS operator has won a national transport award.

Fastrack, which runs bus services throughout north Kent, won the Outstanding Success in Bus Priority award at the annual Bus Priority conference in Glasgow on February 27.

Judges were impressed with the company's budget control and how it introduced new bus routes on schedule.

They also commented on the good feedback they received after speaking to north Kent bus passengers.

Fastrack project manager David George said: "This is fantastic news and yet further recognition of how innovative and important Fastrack is both locally and as a national example."
