First Bus staff in Commonwealth Games baton relay

Six staff members of First Bus in Scotland will have the honour of carrying the Queen’s baton in a relay event cumulating at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow this summer.

They were selected because of their involvement with community groups, charities and the improvement of public transport services for customers.

CEO of FirstGroup, Tim O’Toole, said, ‘We are proud of our Scottish heritage and the important role we play connecting people and communities up and down Scotland, every day. Our employees at First Bus, are well prepared to manage the extra demand for public transport services during Glasgow 2014. It will be a truly memorable experience for everyone involved, and for those taking part in the Queen’s Baton Relay in particular.’
