摘要：	Simon Carlisle, First Bus North & West Yorkshire engineering director named engineer of the year in the 2022 routeone awards, reports that the distinction gives him "immense pride". Not that it's all about him, adds the modest senior corporate leader. "It's more a recognition of the team -and we have 200 engineers now - but this rewards our collective hard work." To be precise, Carlisle's award category was for large operator - over 150 vehicles (small/medium operator engineer of the year was awarded to Ian Scott of Stanley Travel). Large is certainly appropriate for First Bus North & West Yorkshire, with operations in Halifax, Huddersfield, Bradford, Leeds and York, not to speak of other operations in South Yorkshire, plus 14 more stretching from Aberdeen to Cornwall, including Greater Manchester, Glasgow, Bristol, Leicester and Portsmouth. Reflecting on that scale, Carlisle says: "It's a big team, and the size of it is a strength and a weakness, actually. You've got an awfully big area and a lot of responsibility within it, but you've equally got that scalability. Now with six depots, there are six engineering managers and six workshop managers. They all help each other, so that's where the strength of the team comes together."
