Two bus inspectors have been hailed as heroes and honoured with awards for saving passengers' lives.
Steven Delaney gave CPR to a man who collapsed with a heart attack at Ashton Interchange in Tameside.
It was initially thought the man had died but due to Steven's prompt actions, paramedics were able to take over and resuscitate him.
Darren Gould leapt into action after a woman collapsed unconscious at Manchester Piccadilly bus station after complaining that she couldn't breathe.
Darren also performed CPR on her until an ambulance arrived, ultimately saving her life.
Both Stagecoach employees were honoured with special awards from the bus operator's managing director, Lee Wasnidge.
He called them 'truly outstanding members of our Manchester team'.
Lee said: "Steven and Darren acted calmly, professionally and with dignity.
"Their quick thinking saved the lives of these seriously ill people and both were rightly praised by the ambulance crews on scene and passengers nearby.
"Well done and thank you to Steven and Darren. You both thoroughly deserve this award."
Steven, who was acting inspector at Ashton Interchange at the time, told how 'instinct took over'.
The man collapsed there on August 17.
Steven also called an ambulance and arranged for a defibrillator to be brought to the scene.
He said: "You don't have time to stop and think when you see someone unconscious on the floor.
"As soon as I saw him, instinct took over and I ran over and did whatever I could do to help him.
"We really thought he had died there at the scene so when I got the call later on to say that he had survived, I was over the moon."
Darren, an inspector at Manchester Piccadilly at the time, told how a woman approached him at the station on August 32 and told him she was feeling unwell.
He called for an ambulance, but said things took a turn for the worse and she collapsed unconscious.
Darren gave her CPR until paramedics arrived.
"It doesn’t matter if it's a passenger, a friend or a relative, if someone is as unwell as that lady was, then you've just got to do everything that you can to help them," he said.
"Thankfully she survived what was a really scary experience. I'm just glad that I was there and able to help her."
Both the man and woman haven't been identified.
In Greater Manchester, Stagecoach employs more than 2,300 people and transports over 106 million passengers a year through a fleet of 750 buses.
