The routeone Awards is a standout event in the coach and bus industry calendar. Held on Wednesday 4 November at The Vox, Resorts World Birmingham, it falls on the second night of Euro Bus Expo (3–5 November, NEC Birmingham), providing the perfect opportunity to celebrate the industry’s achievements beyond the show floor.
With around 900 guests expected – another sell-out – the evening brings together finalists, operators, suppliers and industry leaders from across the UK. As winners in 16 categories are revealed, it’s a chance to recognise the people and businesses making a difference, reconnect with colleagues, make new contacts and enjoy those all-important conversations with industry peers.
Guests can look forward to a drinks reception, three-course meal, table wine and entertainment from a celebrity co-host, whose identity will remain under wraps until the night. Courtesy coaches to and from local hotels will make the evening easy to enjoy from start to finish.
Guests can keep the conversations flowing after the Awards with live music from the Cat Davis Trio, sponsored by Backhouse Jones. Featuring West End performer Cat Davis and two Birmingham music scene masters, the trio’s vibrant mix of jazz, funk and soul will provide the perfect backdrop for extended networking.Book your accommodation through our official accommodation partner, Event Express, using the booking portal below.

Being nominated and a finalist was a proud moment for our company. It was a pleasure to attend, and what a great evening! I look forward to entering and attending again.
This is the first time we entered the routeone Awards. There were five other finalists in the category – many with much larger teams than ours. We felt honoured to even be considered against these industry legends. For our small family business to be recognised by the sector’s highest accolades was an unbelievable, unforgettable and incredibly proud moment.
The routeone Awards is the industry’s version of the BAFTAs. It’s the one event of the year you must go to. Great for networking and also great to catch up with industry friends. There’s nothing like it!
A great opportunity to meet like minded people within the industry. It’s truly inspiring to see industry leaders and up and coming talent be awarded for their efforts. A date in the diary not to be missed!
It was a pleasure to attend the routeone Awards and see the bus and coach industry being celebrated. It was brilliant to see many of our Women in Transport members and partners amongst the finalists and winners. A wonderful evening, full of inspiration.
It is a great time to catch up with industry colleagues and share our experiences from the past year. Always an event to look forward to.
What an excellent way to bring the bus and coach industry together to recognise both team and personal contributions made up and down the country throughout the year. A fantastic night had by all with an opportunity to share experiences, best practice and a few laughs along the way.
A fabulous evening providing a great opportunity to catch up with industry friends, as well as spending some quality social time with many of our staff.
Having never attended the event before, I enjoyed the positive atmosphere and the opportunity to really celebrate the industry. It was a great networking opportunity and refreshing to see people from “rival” companies being able to share success and celebrate together.
The yearly highlight of the bus and coach industry. A great opportunity to mix with the great and the good, celebrating achievement in a vibrant atmosphere.
