younger every year? Hard to say when you reach the Hawk's venerable perch on the tree of life, but there is no doubt that South Coast bus driver Joanne Inglis, 18, is indeed young.
Joanne lives at Lancing, West Sussex and began driving earlier this year from Stagecoach's Worthing depot where her father, a former truck driver, also drives a bus. She says her "burning ambition" is to drive a truck but dad advised her to gain experience on the buses until she is 21 and old enough to take her LGV test. She joined Stagecoach as a cleaner and passed her test first time, after one week of training. As the youngest of four women driving from the Worthing depot, she says she is often met with wry looks from older folk as they pay their fares. Her present routes take her to Portsmouth, Brighton and Midhurst but once she gets behind the wheel of a truck her horizons will know no limit. In the meantime, it's two adults and two halves, please.
