This morning I was on a 14 heading to Queen Square & a passenger came down from the top deck with her kids & told the driver there was a passenger sitting on the top deck with a knife in his hand, the driver said thanks for reporting it to the passenger then went upstairs to this passenger with the knife & told him to put it away, the driver then came downstairs & continued driving the bus as normal.

Anyway my question is what is the policy for dealing with someone with a knife onboard your bus??

with respect to the driver on my bus this morning to me it didn’t feel like he dealt with the incident in the right way, even after he’d spoken to the passenger with the knife I still felt at risk & so did many other passengers.

Thanks In Advance for any help given!

The matter was referred to the Police and CCtV provided.
