Couple Find Love On The Buses

Carolyn Firth found someone to ring her bell on her way to work - she ended up marrying the bus driver!

Carolyn,42,reckons she was fated to get on Paul Goode's bus 18 months ago and was instantly drawn to his smile and cheery manner.

"I was absolutely floored when he asked me out,but I said yes straight away" said Carolyn.

Paul,47,decked his bus out in ribbons and balloons and devised a timetable all of his own to whisk her away to their wedding ceremony.

He says his lucky ticket came up when he spotted his dream woman on the number 20 service.

He said "It was definitely love at first sight for me.She always made a point of being last off,and something in her eyes told me she liked me.So I called her back one day and asked if she would go out with me."

Paul's bosses were only too pleased to offer him the bus free to get him to his wedding in style.

Carolyn added "I still travel by bus,but none of the other drivers have ever measured up!"

The newlyweds are to honeymoon in Tenerife - but think they might leave the bus behind for that!
