A caring bus driver came to the rescue of a vulnerable 74-year-old woman who went missing from her home.
An alert was put out last week after Eileen Turton went missing in Allerton, with police appealing for help in tracing her whereabouts. However the bus driver, Tom Carr, was unaware of this when she boarded the Number 21 Stagecoach service from the city centre to Northwood, Kirkby, on the afternoon of Wednesday, July 13.
Tom, 52, said: "It's a very busy route, with around 100 people on the bus. I remembered her getting on because she didn't swipe the card reader, but I didn't think anything of it and she sat right at the front of the bus. It goes to Kirkby and then does a loop and goes back the same way.
