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.
