Go North East’s engineering department has achieved the highest standard for its 30 coaches in its latest National Express audit.
It was awarded the Engineering Gold Standard, together with the sought-after ‘Golden Spanner’ trophy for Engineering Excellence.
The annual assessment reviewed the company’s facilities and maintenance, planning, training and paperwork processes. Random vehicle inspections were also undertaken across the coach fleet.
Head of Engineering at Go North East, Colin Barnes, says: “Feedback from National Express revealed improvements to all engineering procedures, showing that Go North East is operating to the highest possible standards.
“We’re delighted to see our award boosted from green to gold.”
