Meet the gas engineer, bus driver and supermarket boss who are helping to keep Cumbria going
We spoke to three key workers away from the medical frontline who have worked throughout lockdown. Jonathan Byers was inspired to become a bus driver by his grandad, but he never had to deal with working during a pandemic. The 33-year-old from Carlisle switched from working at Center Parcs to training as a driver for Stagecoach in 2017, following the example of his grandfather, Robert. “My grandad, who passed away a few years ago, enjoyed it and always had good things to say about the company so I thought why not follow in his footsteps and become a bus driver?” said Jonathan.
