Summary
- A coach driver has tattooed his route number on his arm.
- He loves his specific 444 route and finds joy in passengers' happiness.
- The driver was diagnosed with adult autism and ADHD last year.
Keith Allen, a 53-year-old National Express coach driver, has expressed his deep affection for the 444 service by getting the route number tattooed on his forearm. The ink reads '444. 4better. 4worse. 4ever.' This unique tribute celebrates the route he has driven exclusively since the pandemic. Allen, who has been a professional coach driver for three decades, finds the job immensely fulfilling, emphasizing the joy he derives from the variety of each day and from making his passengers happy.
Recently diagnosed with adult autism and ADHD at age 53, Allen views this as a positive development, providing clarity on his past experiences, particularly during his school years. He shared that this diagnosis has helped him understand himself better, moving past feelings of being "crazy or stupid." Despite leaving school without qualifications and trying various jobs, he found his passion in driving and intends to continue his career as long as possible.
