Andrew Wickham, MBE

Saturday 16th August 2025

From The Imberbus Event Guide 2025:

Andrew Wickham, MBE.
Andrew was a legendary bus manager, who sadly passed away in May 2025. Despite a long illness, he was working right up to his death; he wouldn’t have done anything else. Other obituaries have described his illustrious career, latterly as Managing Director of Go-Ahead South Coast, but Andrew was also an enthusiast, for buses, bus services, the people who staffed them, and the people and communities that they served.

And he was a great supporter of Imberbus, both through the companies he ran, and personally. Nothing was too much trouble, and everything was done willingly and with a smile, both from him and the people he led. Last year he was driving the Wilts & Dorset VR, with Paul Clifton as his conductor, at Imberbus, as normal; but that was the last bus he drove in service.

We send our condolences to his family, Alison, Sam and Emma, and to his wider family, friends and colleagues as well. We will miss him; he was a great friend, a local hero, a legend. RIP Andrew.

Bus Left Early From Stonehenge School

Wednesday 11th December 2019

Liam Barnett writes ~

“At around 2.53 p.m. the coach that collects students from Stonehenge School and drops them off in Shrewton left way too early, which caused a couple of students to miss the bus, since they were just leaving lesson. I told the bus driver to wait on these pupils and he just completely ignored me, even though he should of, since it wasn’t even time to leave. (If it is any help he was the bus driver that is on your main page). I think it is completely wrong for him to do this and it should be dealt with accordingly.”
