Transdev CEO Alex Hornby said: “We wanted to do something special for the England supporters who’ve cheered their team on through one nerve-wracking match after another in Euro 2020,

“We also always like to celebrate one of our own, and they don’t come much bigger than Gareth Southgate’s amazing achievement in leading England to our first major tournament final since 1966.

“As well as naming one of our buses after Gareth, we plan to offer him the freedom of our bus network for a year – no matter what the outcome of Sunday’s final is – as he’s done so much to lift everyone’s spirits after all the challenges of the last 14 months.

“Everyone here will be cheering England on this Sunday – football’s coming home to Yorkshire by bus with us!”
