First Bus passengers 'locked' on board as driver abandons bus

A woman has spoken out about her experience of being 'locked' on a bus by a First Bus driver. The bus operator has apologised after a driver reportedly left the passengers on the bus with the lights off and the door locked.

The passenger, 23, who wishes to remain anonymous, was travelling back from Pub in the Park in Bath on June 17 at around 9.45pm with a group of friends. She said the driver left the bus at Dorchester Street Station just before 10pm without saying anything to the rest of the passengers.

Recounting the experience to Bristol Live, the woman explained: "The driver turned the engine off, turned the lights off, got out of the driver seat, left the bus and shut the door. None of the passengers on the bus were told. Another driver appeared after about 10/15 minutes and did speak to us and made a few jokes."
