Sacked bus driver is at a loss

A bus driver removed from his duties because of a crime he committed 34 years ago is at a loss as to what he will do now.

Lloyd Walsh will only be able to drive his Dunedin Passenger Transport bus until next monday after Land Transport New Zealand revoked his license because he broke the law when he was 16.

The 50-year-old solo father was convicted after sleeping with his girlfriend at the time, who was two days off turning 16.

Mr Walsh says he does not know how he will cope and is not sure what he will do now.

He says he has been boosted by the large amount of public support he has received.
