A job that many "assume is easy work" can in fact be "draining and lonely", but an Arriva bus driver would "not change a thing".
Life on the bus network has changed a lot over the years, but one thing remains the same - that people across Merseyside rely on the service. Passengers uses the buses to commute to and from work, to attend vital appointments, to make shopping trips or simply to visit their loved ones - and for driver Richard Prescott, playing a part in that is a "real privilege".
Having always wanted to be a bus driver "or a bank lady", Richard - from Runcorn - answered his calling when there were redundancies at his previous employment and he knew he had to make a change. More than 20 years on, he's "never looked back or regretted it", but - as he told the ECHO - there is "more to the job than driving a bus".
