The youngest bus driver at a Merseyside bus depot has spoken of his pride at following in his dad’s footsteps.
Ray Dobson, 19, from Netherton, passed his bus driving test at Arriva ten months ago. Speaking to the ECHO at Arriva’s bus depot in Bootle, he said he was delighted to be working with his dad Barry, who has been with Arriva for more than 20 years.
Ray said: “Arriva has always been in my life with my dad, and that’s a vision I’ve always wanted to follow. With him being a bus driver, that encouraged me to start and that’s why I’m here now.”
