"My daughter has just been approached at the bus stop just past Broadway by a man who stopped his WHITE van and tried convincing her that the buses weren't running on this route and he'd been asked to collect people from bus stops and take them to their destinations!! NOT TRUE!!

"Thank you SO much to the man with the border collie dog who was passing and stayed with Aimée till her bus arrived!!
