The Last Stop Is Home: A London Bus Driver’s Story

By Sunny Patel

Daniel Mercer lets buses pass before he can face going home with his redundancy letter. Then an ordinary kindness from a driver gives him an unexpected idea: perhaps he could start again behind the wheel.

Over twenty years, London becomes his workplace, his daily test and the place where strangers grow familiar. A baby in a buggy becomes a young man in work boots. Passengers make him laugh, frighten him and remind him why the job matters. In the garage, friendship helps him through the days he cannot explain at home.

But every extra shift has another cost. His children grow up around his duty rota. His wife, Helen, learns to make plans without him. As money worries, workplace pressure and loss accumulate, Daniel must ask whether providing for a family has become a way of missing it.

Warm, funny and sometimes painful, The Last Stop Is Home follows the man behind the cab glass-and the people waiting for him at the end of the day.
