Rail Minister admits texting while driving bus, police reopen investigation

Rail Minister Lord Peter Hendy has reported himself to the police after being seen using a mobile phone while driving a vintage Routemaster bus during a charity tour in London. He apologized for the incident, which occurred while he texted a friend about a prostate cancer test, and has since admitted to the police that he was using his phone behind the wheel. The Metropolitan Police initially closed the investigation due to insufficient evidence but reopened it following Hendy's admission. Organizers of the Railway Family fundraiser have expressed their gratitude for Hendy's support but noted they had not received any formal complaints before the incident came to light. They stated their commitment to safe practices and hope for a fair investigation. Hendy is expected to face a fine and points on his driving license as a result of this incident.
