The judging process is very thorough and takes place across the summer and early autumn, including interviews for shortlisted candidiates in three of our &#8216;people&#8217; categories. Additionally, our team of mystery travellers are out and about in the early autumn putting six of the &#8216;operator&#8217; categories under the microscope to check that service delivery on the road meets what has been said in the entry. The results of the mystery travelling are put together with the judges comments to determine the winners. Finaists are announced online in October and the winners announced at the glittering Presentation Ceremony in London in November.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.ukbusawards.org.uk\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2023-bb.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;2023 bb&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.ukbusawards.org.uk\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2023-aa.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;2023 aa&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.ukbusawards.org.uk\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2023-cc.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;2023 cc&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Some of the six judging and<br \/>interview panels in 2023<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The finalists for each category are announced online in October, and there is a presentation ceremony in London in November.
