Buses on the Frontline (2014x249)


Air date: Sep 08, 2014

The burning double-decker bus may have become the defining image of the Troubles, but little is known about the workers who risked life and limb to keep the buses running during the darkest of days. This is the story of the bus drivers, led by the extraordinary German Werner Heubeck, who struggled to maintain a sense of normality in the face of constant threats and hijacks.
