RIP Andrew Stewart, it was a honour to meet you many years ago and talk everything bus. The foundation you laid that created the ABC bus magazine has stood the test of time while other industry publications have faded away into oblivian. It is still a must read for all interested in public and school bus transport.

What an incredible few days at CMC Rocks! 🎶

A huge thank you to every single member of our team — from our amazing office staff, hardworking workshop crew, and of course our dedicated drivers. The long hours, flexibility, and teamwork shown by everyone did not go unnoticed. You all played a massive role in making this event a success, and we are so proud of what we achieved together.

We’re also incredibly grateful to CMC Rocks for the opportunity to be part of such an iconic and well-run event. It’s always a privilege to be involved.

To all the companies who stepped in to help us cover shifts and support operations — thank you for your collaboration and reliability. We truly appreciate your support and couldn’t have done it without you.

Events like this take a village, and we’re lucky to be surrounded by such a strong and supportive network. 👏
