First Bus company run a writing competition for their drivers.
David from Glasgow won the annual Company Short Story Competition with his moving tale of a homeless man, inspired by the tramp he spotted whilst driving through the city centre one Christmas.
Sue loves the freedom of driving a bus around Bristol and writes poems and stories for her family to show them how much she loves them, while Lou wants to write a novel based on her experiences as a bus driver "You have a lot of weird and wonderful experiences driving a bus" she says "I even had passengers come to my wedding."
