A blind East Lothian man has hailed the kind heartedness of a bus driver who assisted him crossing a busy road in the dark.
Ken Reid, who has lived in North Berwick for 30 years, said he was walking along Dirleton Avenue around 8pm on Tuesday night, August 30, when he stopped with his white cane to listen to the traffic before crossing.
Familiar with his surroundings, Ken knew the bus stop was a little further along the road from where he was standing, but his senses told him the big East Coast double decker was approaching and eventually stopped. Not knowing what was going on, Ken waited for the bus to keep moving past him, assuming that it had stopped for another reason.
