It’s been over two weeks since a missing taxi driver from Manchester was last seen driving his cab near to Manchester Royal Infirmary.
Paul Pennington, 58, had last been seen in the vicinity of the hospital on April 30 but then failed to return. It’s believed he may have then travelled to Cumbria.
A further reported sighting of him later that evening was reported near to Windermere railway station at around 9.50pm, which was picked up on local CCTV.

Anyone with information is being urged to contact them immediately, with an appeal also issued for local taxi drivers, as it’s believed he could’ve been picked up from Windermere station by another taxi – thought to be a dark-coloured Ford Estate.
