Hello from Devon, UK
 

Hi all,
Just joined the forum. I am waiting for my Provisional PCV license to come through and then I shall start my driver training with Stagecoach Southwest. Looking forward to this very much. Very different to my previous jobs.

Best wishes.

Welcome to the T&B Forum, feel free to join in with photos and comments.

Welcome to T&B Forum DevonBusman.

I look forward to reading of your experiences.

I don't think we have any active busdrivers on here - at least if there are they've kept very quiet.

I was talking with one of our local service-bus drivers and mentioned that Hong Kong operated without timetables. Due to the variation of traffic conditions that occur when it rains (and the traffic grinds to a halt) they just push them in at one end then turn them around and push them back in at the other when they pop out.
I suggested that he might enjoy a trip there if he was an enthusiast.
He replied that he detested bus driving, but, having become unable to bricklay due to a medical problem, busdriving was the best job he could manage.
However he said that he was much worse off financially.

Hello and welcome to the forum, enjoy and all the best.

A very warm welcome from the usually sunny Isle of Anglesey. I hope you're not a busman in Plymouth!;):D:D:D

Thanks coastie but what makes you ask this?

My Brother is a taxi driver there!:D

That could get "interesting".:D:D:D Bus driver vs Taxi driver.:eek::eek::eek:

Greetings, and Welcome, from West Yorkshire.

Our Grandad was a Bus driver for many years and Ray (my Brother) always wanted to follow in his footsteps but it never seemed to happen.

Nah, quite safe. I am going to be based at Exeter Bus Station - might eventually get to venture down Plymouth way! :)
