A London bus driver has been sacked after abandoning a full load of passengers so he could get a coffee in a nearby café while on shift. Ian Brown was driving the 243 route from Waterloo to Wood Green when he decided to take a break with the engine running, leaving the bus service behind schedule.
Mr Brown was already under caution because of poor attendance during his five years of service before he stopped the bus, went to the toilet and grabbed a hot drink in March 2020.
