I don't know if we're thinking of the same person, but many a time I've seen a driver at Sunderland Rd/Riverside whose of an ethnic backround. He was on 49s yesterday. He has a long white beard and seems really friendly.

Sounds like it could be the same guy!

Nah, when I meant come and go, I was on about the drivers who come, drive for a year or two and then go - rather than keep returning/leaving etc.

There are a few drivers from Chester and Deptford who live in the Fencehouses area (the FPF don't give them wedgies these days after a truce was called), but one in particular drove the 71's for a good while, before progressing onto a few longer distance routes.
Last time I saw him, he was sitting driving for County Coaches.
