Bus driver retires after 54 years of service
A bus driver says he is "very sad" to be retiring at the age of 86.
Norman Simpson, from Middlesbrough, began working on the roads in 1970 at OK Motor Services and completed his final day at Arriva on Wednesday.
Mr Simpson said he had "never had a bad day" and had logged every one of the 992,000 miles he had covered in his career.
Sue Worsnop, operations supervisor at Arriva North East, said Mr Simpson would be "a massive, massive miss to the depot" because of his "knowledge, attitude and positivity".
