Sausage casserole found at Reading Buses lost property

A mother has praised Reading Buses for finding and returning her son's sausage casserole after he left it on a bus.

Suzanne Stout sent an email via social media network site Facebook to thank staff at the bus company for saving her family's dinner.

The sausage casserole, which was made by her son in his food technology class at school, ended up in lost property.

The casserole was retrieved by Mrs Stout and eaten, having taken an unscheduled route around west Reading.

Staff at Reading Buses put radio calls in to the bus drivers until they tracked down the elusive casserole after Mrs Stout realised the meal was missing.
