REG VARNEY, ALIAS BUS DRIVER STAN BUTLER DIES AT THE AGE OF 92
Probably the prototype of a bus driver was the British actor Reg Varney in his role as driver Stan Butler in the British sitcom “On the buses”, which ran on the British ITV channel during the seventies, but also was broadcasted by channels outside Britain.
Varney was born in East London and began his career in entertainment by playing the piano in working men's clubs. During WWII, he served in the Royal Electrical Engineers and was also an army entertainer. He died on November 16 after a short illness in a nursing home in Budleigh Salterton, Devon.
