Didn't see this last night.

I know a woman who used to work for Stagecoach in Sunderland, and she has been a dear family friend since before I was born. Although she's not an enthusiast as such (she can name the buses and has favourites, but still not an enthusiast), she enjoyed driving buses so much that she's gone down south to set up her own bus company. She was on the top driver wages for being at Stagecoach for so long too.

I don't know how she's getting on, but her husband (who also worked for Stagecoach Sunderland) has gone with her. Shows anything is possible, once you've gathered enough experience.
