It's a driver who lives nearby. Whenever he is on split duties (2 hours and above break) he takes the bus home, with the managers consent, and parks it. Might as well, It's both closer to Chester City Centre than the depot so saves fuel, and avoids gridlock with buses parking on the stands at Chester Railway Station for long periods of time.

Helms drivers also have the option of parking the bus inside the Stagecoach Chester garage on Liverpool Road, following a recent agreement.
