The story regarding the scuffle between the driver and passenger, although sketchy is shocking. I read the story last night and watched the video online. I'm genuinely shocked not so much at the driver but at First's response to this where they seem to be condoning the drivers actions. The whole idea of the big ugly plastic screen around the drivers cab is to protect them from this sort of thing yet here we see a driver out if how cab wrestling a guy to the ground. He's left himself wide open to criminal or even civil action. If the passenger was refusing to leave the bus the driver should have radio'd for police and sat and waited. I remember some years ago hearing about a Stagecoach driver on a school run. A fight broke out on the upper deck and the driver pulled over went upstairs and pulled the kids apart. Allegedly one of the kids banged his arm on a hand rail as the driver pulled him away and a complaint followed. The driver was given an official warning simply because he left his cab and intervened. |
