    Colchester: You’ll be ‘bus’ted!

    A probe has been launched after a bus had a swear word where its destination should have been.

    The First Eastern bus was in Mersea Road, Colchester, when it was spotted by keen-eyed Colchester councillor Kevin Bentley and his wife, Karen.

    Mr Bentley, portfolio holder for culture and public relations, said: “Karen spotted it first because she was driving and told me to look at the bus. We were both totally incredulous about what we had seen and checked with each other we had seen it.”

    Bob Dorr, operations manager for First, said: “We understood the destinations were set electronically and couldn’t be overridden but it would appear there is a technical glitch with the programming.

    “Some drivers are able to programme the electronic destination blinds with other words – this is a loophole we weren’t aware existed.

    “This concerns us greatly and we are taking immediate steps with the manufacturers to get this loophole closed.

    “We consider this to be a very serious disciplinary offence for any driver to display words like this in the destination display.”
