This is a special honour for Steve. As a former X1 driver like him I used 1406 on a regular basis so it is fitting for an X1 Best One bus to carry his name

Were trying to get 1407 done as it’s still in the same livery as it was back in the X1 days but due to it being on temporary loan they couldn’t do that one so after much discussion decided on 1406 instead
