Most likely Pat, she did my scholars service for a short while during the 2013-2014 academic year, and I got to know her a bit. If I ever saw her after she finished driving my scholars for that period, I'd go up and say hello. I think she does do the odd run on the scholars every now and then, I see her about once a month or so, but haven't for quite a while recently. Because she told me a lot about her career, I used to bring her up on the forum every now and then, it became some sort of running gag... Haha.
I don't know who Audrey is, I used to speak to a lot of the Chester-le-Street staff, but since the rota amalgamation a year ago, I lost track of who did what, and as there seems to be so many new drivers at Chester-le-Street these days, I don't really bother. The only staff I ever really talk to these days, if I see them and have time, are Gary Wheatley and Pat. However, there are a few drivers who know me by name, who always give me a wave or say hello should I cross paths with them.

It was indeed Pat. Never actually seen her out and about so was a nice spot. As i said, the hair gave it away at first and then i saw the face and just confirmed my suspicions.

Do we think that Pat knows she's got a fan club on NEB...?

I spoke to a driver at the Metro Centre Bus Rally this year called "Pat" from Chester Le Street Depot, she had brought the recently withdrawn "Lime" to the Rally. She was was very pleasant and spared a lot of time to talk to me. I'm guessing this is probably the same Pat as some of you have been talking about.
I give her the thumbs up
