She has been sharing her memories as the coach firm celebrates 50 years on the road - from trips to the seaside to long-haul motorway journeys.
Val, who lives in Ossett, recalls receiving a famous face aboard one of the services she was working on: “Dickie Bird joined the 240 service from Dewsbury to Heathrow and was such a gentleman. He wore his famous Panama hat, raincoat and carried a cardboard suitcase. He ordered a plain chicken sandwich on white bread and ordered a tea with one sugar. I’ll never forget it!”“The services we hostesses offered was often the difference between a good journey and a great one.
Taking the time to check on passengers; offering them a drink or just chatting with them, especially if they were travelling alone, really made the difference to them.“I received a number of cards and lots of passengers remembered me from previous journeys and shared their memories and kind words on how I looked after them. It meant the world to me.”“I have a huge collection of miniature coach models – everything from the services I worked on to the older and newer models.
