Bus driver didn’t know directions

When the driver is lost …

Birmingham: Bus passengers were shocked to be asked if any of them knew the way since the driver didn’t have a clue.

A supervisor asked if any of the 30 on board could give directions, a local daily said. “It will really help you as your driver is Polish, doesn’t speak much English and he doesn’t know the route.”

Travel firm Fraser Eagle was running a coach replacement service for Virgin Trains between Birmingham and Rugby because of track maintenance.

One woman volunteered to sit by the driver and give him directions throughout the 20-mile journey. A Virgin Trains spokesman said, “Investigations are on. We would expect the driver to know the route he is supposed to drive.”
