BIt of a non story really, people get on the wrong bus daily and you don't hear about it.

The Northern Echo seem as confused as the passenger as the 12 doesn't go to Richmond that's X26/X27, if the 12 was heading in the opposite direction to Hurworth it would be heading towards Middleton St George which leaves from a different part of the Town Centre. By my reckoning TNE have just heard the accounts from the 14 year old and/or parents and printed it with no research into this, it's little wonder they ended up on the wrong bus.

Granted not the best just dumping a 14 year old somewhere they don't know but surely better research should have been done prior to this journey being made.
