Back in December we asked for nominations for local people to have one of our buses named after them. We received so many fantastic nominations that we have actually selected four nominations.
We are delighted to share the first name, proudly placed on our brand new Yutong midicoach, as “Cassian Christopher” with matching registration plate CA25 SAN.
Cassian is a local lad who attends nursery near our depot. He loves seeing our yellow buses go by! Cassian’s family nominated him not only for his love of our buses, but for a very special and admirable family story. It is their intention to use Cassian’s coach to raise awareness of the important role of stem cell donors in the UK.
Cassian’s grandfather Christopher (who Cassian's middle name is in honour of) suffered from Leukaemia and was sadly told that his intensive stint of chemotherapy had not been successful. Four years ago, Christoper was lucky enough to have a stem cell donation from his brother. When he relapsed the only match available for him was in Germany, however, he was too poorly to have another stem cell donation.
