Bombers ‘won’t intimidate us’ vows bus driver

THE driver of the London bus targeted in the latest attacks on the capital yesterday issued a defiant message to the bombers and vowed to return to work.

Mark Maybanks, 38, who was driving the double-decker bus on route 26 from Waterloo to Hackney when it was involved in the incident in east London yesterday, said he and his colleagues would get on with their jobs despite recent events. “Whatever they do, we are going to be back driving our buses. They are not going to beat us.

“I’ve got a lot of feelings running round my head at the moment. It was a really frightening experience. My family were just pleased to get me back home in one piece. I need some time, but I definitely want to get back to work,” he said.
