A bus driver ‘showed good people do exist’ after taking a detour to help a crying schoolgirl who got on the wrong bus. Megan O’Connell, 11, rang her mum ‘sobbing and in a state’ when she got mixed up about the bus she was supposed to get home after attending an after school club on Wednesday. The young girl, from Beechwood, Wirral, was supposed to get on the 418 New Ferry to Birkenhead route, but had ended up on the 414 Woodside to New Brighton route. Luckily for the panicked schoolgirl, who had just started getting the bus by herself, driver Paul Comber was there to help.Megan’s mum Patti told the Liverpool Echo that Paul came on the phone and reassured her that he would get her daughter home safe by changing his bus route slightly. The worried mother says she has ‘never been so grateful’ as she was concerned about how to get Megan home. It’s believed that Paul has been nominated for Arriva employee of the month for his heart-warming actions.
