Former Newport Transport Managing Director Edwin Marsh

Former Newport Transport Managing Director Edwin Marsh died on 21 April. He was 83. Mr Marsh led the Welsh municipal between 1988 and 2001 prior to his retirement, although he retained an interest beyond that date via the Association of Local Bus Managers.

“Edwin was well known and liked by his peers and the industry as a whole,” says Newport Transport Commercial and Projects Manager Colin Thomas, who worked with Mr Marsh at the operator. Newport Transport will name one of its battery-electric buses after Mr Marsh as a mark of respect and in recognition of his time with the operator.
