I AM writing to thank the driver of First Number 16 bus for a pleasant and safe journey from the Railway Station to New Lane, Huntington, on Thursday, January 26, at 9.32am.

He arrived on time and gave each passenger a welcoming smile but, more importantly, he allowed time for everyone to be seated before setting off. This happened at every stop.

His professional approach to his work, combined with his friendly and helpful attitude to his passengers, was a refreshing change and should be used as an example to some other drivers.

Mrs G Haywood,

Cricketers Walk,

Colton,

Leeds.
