Hello from Devon, UK

[DevonBusman]

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 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.

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

Thanks coastie but what makes you ask this?

My Brother is a taxi driver there!

That could get "interesting". Bus driver vs Taxi driver.

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!
