A CUMBRIAN bus driver and his colleague have been praised for their actions after driving a passenger who was struggling with a mental health issue directly to her door.
Steve Cannon was driving the number 29 Stagecoach service from Workington to Whitehaven on Thursday afternoon when one of his passengers seemed lost and confused. He turned the full bus around so he could drive her home in Moorclose and, along with his mentor Phil Acton, who was also on board, walked her to her door.
The men were honoured with a presentation and received gift vouchers at the Workington depot yesterday, after members of the public highlighted their deeds on social media.
