Two bus workers have been awarded MBEs in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for their bravery during last year’s riots in London.
Kenneth Martin and Peter Middleton were honoured for going above and beyond the call of duty, a Transport for London spokesman said.
Mr Martin, 51, a night traffic controller for London Buses, helped passengers and drivers to safety during the height of the disturbances in Brixton even after his own vehicle had come under attack.

He recovered a number of abandoned buses in the area, returning them to garages, which prevented them from being damaged in the street.
The TfL spokesman said: ‘Through his actions, he provided a remarkable service to London’s buses and bus passengers.’
Mr Middleton, from Waltham Forest, north east London, was injured when the peaceful demonstration outside Tottenham Police Station escalated, the TfL spokesman said.
‘Despite this, he returned to Arriva’s Tottenham bus garage where he took charge and organised other controllers in moving buses away from the disturbances as they spread, while keeping the bus services running,” he said.

‘He set an outstanding example and performed a crucial role in a very challenging situation, putting himself at risk to ensure the safety of others.’
Mr Middleton, who has worked for Arriva for 29 years, said: ‘It is a real honour to receive this award. I really feel that I am accepting this for all my colleagues who were working that evening.’
The TfL spokesman went on: ‘He performed a crucial role in a very challenging situation, putting himself at risk to ensure the safety of others.’
Mr Martin, from Kent, said: ‘I am overwhelmed to be awarded an MBE and would like to share it with all my colleagues who worked so hard to keep passengers safe and London moving during such a difficult time’
Peter Hendy CBE, Transport for London’s commissioner, said: ‘The honours are both a well-deserved recognition of the actions and efforts of the individuals concerned, and also of their colleagues throughout the network.
‘I am proud beyond measure of the staff of TfL and our contractors who maintained our services through the worst civil disturbances in living memory.
‘They demonstrated courage and professionalism, and through determination and bravery, they managed to keep the city moving and our users safe.
‘TfL and London carried on because of the heroic actions of individuals such as Kenneth and Peter and I congratulate them on their awards.’

These are the people who really deserve awards the men and women who have made this nation great not the generals /politicians / pop and film stars / civil / servants / and in the past bankers who ruin this nation not forgetting the MP,s made up to the Lords at 300 pounds a day tax free
– Duncan Morrison, Isle of Man, 17/6/201 all a bit simplistic, although in essence correct. There have of course been great generals and politicians who did not ‘ruin’ this nation it is a bit more holistic than that.

Fantastic decision. Anybody who puts their lives and well being after other people’s is a hero in my eyes.

Not suprised to see such courage and daring from ordinary members of society, when compared to the lack of moral fortitude displayed by the police most of the riots.

Well done. It’s about time ordinary people who do things like this are recognised.

These are the things which didn’t come to light in the papers at the time. These are decent people doing their best for others and the company they work for. Their awards are well deserved.

Well done..It makes a change to read about people gaining honours, who actually deserve them and not because they’re in the clique.
