Sure enough, turns out she was not "dumped" in the middle of nowhere (near Scotch Corner): https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/1...m=facebook

An account from passenger states: the driver gave her the option of staying on the bus and getting back to Darlington within two hours, or getting off at Scotch Corner and catching another bus back to Darlington within minutes.
Ms Christensen said: "He stopped at the bus stop and explained to the girl to be careful crossing the street. He said explain to the driver you got in the wrong bus and they will take you back to Darlington. He gave her two choices and she picked to get off the bus."

We seem to be assuming the witness story is automatically legitimate.... Lets let the investigation run its course instead.

Even without the witness story, I have a very hard time believing it's true.

The thing that immediately made me skeptical was the fact that they went to the papers before an investigation was complete (assuming they actually reported it before going to the papers)

In my eyes, the only reason they would do this is because they know any investigation would find no faults and they wouldn't get the payout they hope for (be it financial, or just attention)
