Jessica said: “It’s crazy! The support we’ve had from the people of Aylesbury has been amazing and to now see my name up on the side of a local bus is incredible. We’re very grateful to Arriva for arranging this and we will definitely be looking out for our names on busses around town!”

Jennifer added: “We’re proud to have represented Aylesbury at the Olympic Games and feel very honoured to have been recognised in this way - I never ever thought I’d have a bus named after me! The encouragement and messages we’ve had all year have been incredible and we’re so grateful to everyone”

The two buses are in use now, welcoming customers in and around Aylesbury.
