Don’t you just love impatient German car drivers? 😡😡😡

Hi James are you able to do a full indepth exterior and interior tour of the volvo b10m plaxton premier please if it's still on fleet. Looks a lovely coach the older better than the new stuff and more reliable. Cheers matt

I did casual driving for a guy Brian Le Blond A to B coaches of Tring Hertfordshire operating out of a former Transco gas site in London road Hemel Hempstead Hertfordshire. We had an old B10M Plaxton premiere Auto. YJI7315. Loved driving it. Only problem it had was the typical noise from the drive from the engine to the fan at front. The bearings tended to wear

Yey more vlogs please Awesome videos mate I'm currently only need do 3b driving test which be on 13 December I'm good to go Passed all cpc mod 2 and 4 and reverse 3a test Thank for inspiration doing my d licence

Your videos are very nice i always watch your videos. Kindly can I ask what camera do you use to record your videos and what mount do you use? Thank you very much

Would you ever like to have a go at driving the Volvo 9700DDs due at Stagecoach East Scotland soon, or are these ones what you prefer?

Nice video once again. Question - what is your favourite coach to drive?

Coach

Love it, I do that every time, I often go round 2 or 3 times, it’s so confusing.

I have driven my car in London many times I cannot imagine driving a bus into it 40 miles from Chelmsford Essex

National express have nice seats

Right so you filled in your card prior to driving, then you closed the tachograph door Then, continue to drive. You haven't done your vehicle checks on cross hammer's meaning other work, at least 10/15 min vehicle checks on your vehicle, If vosa pulled, you try to explain how you done your vehicle checks, tut tut so not really a professional driver are you !!!!

I think I saw that Severn Sisters Bristol parked in the driveway of the Severn Valley Railway at Bewdley a week or so back.

Never been a bus or coach driver, but I was involved as a cleaner for a few years. We had Volvo B10s but had the auto boxes as they were service buses. Some of the coaches had manual boxes and even just moving them around the yard tugged on my shoulder quite a bit so I'm glad I didn't have to drive them all day. nice video.

Very enjoyable.

In a month's time i shall be going over to coaches from busses, in which i am very much looking forward to. Thanks to your vidoes helping me to get rid of some nerves. Will be the first time for me using a tacho card and going from domestic to eu rules.

Hey James, some awesome footage here! Just wondering if I could use some of the Wales & West/Wales & Borders footage here for a video I am making on the former Welsh operators - with credit of course! Thanks :)

Thanks for the great video James. Can you get around to doing a walk around very in depth tour of rx51 the plaxton b10 please when you get chance.

Nice video as usual James, nice to see a Gee Vee from Barnsley in the coach park, used to drive for them.

Bring out bonus video vlog as extra amazing road

Used to work out of Andover. Regally used to fuel at Harewood eastbound A303. But not on Glastonbury Monday, the place would be full of zombies with a cupper in one hand and a sausage roll etc. in the other.

The meal on arrival looks like a dogs dinner

Wow love all old vintage buses Soo cool tho

How about night driving bus on the road

Great video james, I like this type of video you do

Lovely

The scenery looks stunning, pity about the poor weather at times. Thanks for the video.

Great to see some of my local ish area thanks for sharing another day in the life videos. The weather looks to be the usual welsh mix 😅

Coach

Used to have a friend who lived in Trowbridge and worked in Marlborough. He would go to work via Devizes, and go home via Calne because of the Devizes peak time traffic.

James I love the levante 2 they look very nice that is a big coach very well done try that one in cornwall

What sat nav are you using nowadays?

Smart new coach 😊

Irizar i8... what a beautiful coach. Superb.

Thanks for a pleasant ride. I enjoyed that.

Organising the clips based on the vehicle age is a grey tide eel as they say in Bristle. (A great ideal!) It means everything of my era is together in one section.

Really appreciate your driving and this video. Really interesting to see. I live in North Devon but work all over Devon down as far as Moretonhampstead. I have a mobile clinic and do out reach for the more remote areas. I only drive a van but watching you drive that coach makes me feel happier I’m not driving that! It’s bad enough in a van! Keep up this work, I know it’s a lot of time to make a video, edit and then to post etc, so again appreciate that time. Oh just one possible change? The music levels are way to high, maybe adjust that but increase your V/O

Hi James, the Levante 2 is 14metres long along with the levante 3 but there are some, which are going that are 15 metres long and that extra metre does make it tight getting round some bends in central London. There is also the Levante 3A which are the mirrorless Scania's. You just have to be very careful with that tale swing and it catches put alot of drivers including myself 😂 Great video James, can't wait to see your next video.

I got to ride on the electric transport museum branded bus.

Enjoyed that, a different way of presenting it ! - but should be noted that ex Cardiff 758 was not on the 23A, it was just a non pcv visitor that parked for the day at Sack Hill (I am on the bus in your video directing it to where it should park - had been in the way at Warminster). Also for acuracy, the two Hendy buses maybe should be referred to as Hendy, Richmond Hill, as he moved from Bath a few years ago. Whilst RML2344 has been recently running for Londoner Buses, it is actually locally owned. Similarly with RMC1510, although it was indeed running from Ensign's depot, and they are allowed to use it for hires, it is still owned by Martjin Gilbert, Gateshead.

I love watching videos in my local area.

Great video james

I've noticed a lot of modern buses and coaches suffer from loose sounding rattles and knocking noises at the front end - is this from suspension components?

Many people won't be aware of this, but Caetano turned their collective backs on coach operators and signed an agreement with National Excuse to only build the Levante for registered NX operators. Everyone else was refused new sales. In fact NX tried to enforce a no used sales of Levantes but that was not lawful. Undoubtedly Caetano thought that an exclusive deal with NX was a great idea- that's a large fleet to build and subsequently replaced. But that ignores the twin fact that A) National Disgrace can easily terminate with Caetano and move to another operator next- leaving Caetano to try and pick up the losses with other operators who feel cheesed off at being abandoned. B) I very much doubt NX is going to make it to 2030 and whilst Flix seem to be using ex NX Levantes via former NX operators, it does not mean Flix will enter such foolish exclusivity deals- and if they did I suspect it would be the Tourismo.

U can bus logo with ur name

What are the typical hours you would drive in a day? And how long are your rest periods?

Hi james when did that bus get released

Fenza Gala Seats
