A teenager was left to walk home after two bus drivers refused to accept a Scottish £10 note for his fare.

Sixth form pupil Jack Banfield was making his way home from Morriston Comprehensive School in Swansea on Monday afternoon, when he tried to pay for his £1.70 trip to the Plasmarl area of the city with a £10 note given to him by Scottish relatives for his birthday on Monday afternoon.

The bus company, First Cymru, has since apologised to the 18 year old.
