Stagecoach West will be sending three drivers to the 53rd Bus Driver of the Year final.
It tested 10 drivers in the regional heats at Cheltenham Racecourse, including Anthony Quinn, who was a runner-up and won the Giles Fearnley Shield for the Best Competitor from a Depot in England last year.
Anthony won first place in the heats, pipping colleague Steve Jones to the post, with Mike Beard coming in third.
Stagecoach West encouraged spectators, using the day to promote careers in the industry.
Rupert Cox, Managing Director of Stagecoach West, says: “We take pride in training our drivers and expect them to meet the very highest standards for their driving ability and customer care.
“They put that into practice every day, but this event is their chance to test themselves in front of a panel of judges and show just how good they really are.
“We also hope it inspired a few of those watching to think about a role as a driver with Stagecoach West.”
Drivers were tested on all aspects of their driving abilities, including a series of manoeuvres in the racecourse grounds.
