Explanation

This is a classic trick riddle. The question asks 'What was the name of the bus driver?' but the first sentence says 'You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven.' Therefore, you are the bus driver. All the information about passengers boarding and alighting is irrelevant distraction designed to make you do unnecessary calculations.
