A record number of entries

Entries for the 2025 UK Bus Awards have closed and judging is underway. Thank you to everyone who entered and helped make it a record number of entries. The judges have a lot of nominations to consider and those who have reached the shortlist will be announced online on 9th and 10th October. Selected nominees in some of the ‘people’ categories have been invited to meet the judges in person. Meanwhile entrants in other selected categories will be subject to inspection by our band of mystery travellers to check that service delivery on the ground is top notch.

The Finalists’ Announcement will be on social media on Thursday 9th and Friday 10th October. 

The Presentation Ceremony will be held at Troxy in London on Tuesday 25th November. There’s more information here and you can buy tickets here.
