Young bus fan gets special treatment from drivers A LITTLE boy with a rare medical condition and a bus obsession has won a lot of friends at the bus depot in Westwood, Scarborough. Kieran Dube, 5, knows all the local bus routes and most of the drivers at East Yorkshire Motor Services, or EYMS. The bus company staff have adopted him as one of their own, giving him a log book, a lanyard for his bus pass and a bag and woolly hat with the company logo on. EYMS chief engineer Robert Gibson gave him a push-model of one of the company’s coaches and Arriva gave him a highvisibility jacket. “The drivers have been following Kieran’s story ever since we found out he is a bus enthusiast and are always interested in what he’s been up to”, explained driver and relief controller Miles Cartwright.
