Autistic bus fan surprised by mum's photo on bus

A young bus fan with autism has been given a surprise visit to see a double-decker with a picture of his mother on the side.

Tabitha is pictured along with colleagues from the Oxford Hospitals Charity.

She said her son Jack, 9, who only began to talk two years ago, could now point to the picture and say how much he liked the bus.

The branding was organised by Oxford Bus Company.
