• A bus driver who pulled away before an elderly passenger could sit down, causing her to fall, was fined £200 with 215 costs by the Bridgend magistrates last week.
Peter McCann, of Littchard Park, Bridgend, admitted failing to ensure the safety of a passenger.
For the prosecution, Richard Killick said that McCann had picked up the pensioner concerned in Dinam Street, Nanty-moel. The lady paid her fare to the defendant, but before she could sit down the bus moved off. She fell down a step, receiving injuries that required hospital treatment.
Defending, Nicholas Lewis said that McCann had a previously long and unblemished driving record.
