Welcome to Aylesbury. You were extremely lucky to arrive on a day when the town was not gridlocked, either through HS2 closures, roadworks closures or general chaos! You commented that the roads had changed since you were last in the town. In fact they have not. ( Bus lanes excepted).We still await proper bypasses south of the town. The council grants planning permission for huge housing estates with a rider that suitable roads are built but funnily enough those roads have yet to appear. For a county which is one of the wealthiest in the country the provision of a proper road network in the county town is a disgrace. Thank you for an excellent video- you have shown me parts of the town I never knew about before- very polite and with no swearing. A shame the idiots in the transit pick up did not stop and guide you back instead of hassling you.
Sherrilin, it is a laugh when places are so pedantic about wearing the correct colour hi vis, but they ignore the more important H&S aspect of threading a huge vehicle through narrow spaces. Lovely video again. I'm looking forward to the next instalment. Stay safe, Sarah from Tasmania.
It is law that you are allowed to use the toilets. If they don't want you to use the toilets in the building they have to supply portaloos or similar. Basically once you arrive at a customers you are classed as working for them so they have to provide facilities for their staff Inc you. Been doing this job for over 35 years now and have had a couple of run ins with various places. Couple of times I've told them to stop tipping me while I drive to the nearest services, they soon let me use them when I started pulling the curtain shut.
All work places have a toilet for employees, it’s not like we are asking for special treatment, I really don’t see their problem. At least these are decent places and will let you use their facilities. 😁👍🏻
Hi there Sherralin, another good one. Back in my day, shoving a 141 all over europe. It may be my imagination but the roads in uk seem cramped as opposed to good old Europe? I could find my way with a map book and a compass. I used to look at where I was in a town and on my well thumbed map book look for direction I needed and keep following the compass. Sat Nav???😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 P.S. they were very nice portacabins lol ... lovely view😅😅😅😴😴 Take care, stay safe MARK uk
Strangely I recommend an AtoZ of London to one of our young drivers as he is delivering cars (Steve Fellows Vehicle Movements) inside the M25. I don’t think he’d ever had a map book! I explained that with all the buildings his GPS is likely to have a nervous breakdown! 😂😂
Hi Sherralin. The reason why a lot of driver's cut you up and say they didn't see the blinkers is because they themselves are clueless of when to use them, especially the courier vans. The place you went to reminds me of the railway depot you went to a few weeks ago in London. Seems that its a thing with British Rail at that time some years ago. They seem to have the most obscure places🤣. The forklift and the van behind him would have done better to go further back and give you some space to manouever instead of following you so they can get out, or in the case of the forklift driver (who looks to be parked on double yellows), he may want to get back to his cuppa🤣. Looking at where you had to reverse, I think H&S needs to see it. Not very good
Hi from the Australian who lives and works in France,i can't help but comment on why we have cab-overs in Europe,where as they have conventionnel cabs in America and Australia, the main reason being "we haven't the room here in Europe" Johnno might back me up here,but in Australia there are nightmare pick-ups and deliveries,conventionnel cab,cabover,swatch (who remembers those ?),it's a world-wide problem,i reckon even flying-saucers encounter difficult landings.....love your chanel.
'Barmy' very polite but fully understandable. with regards to facilities the railways have been on top of those things for a long time 40 plus yrs at least, you would be surprised at the amount of women who work on the railways indoors or outdoors, safe travels...
I do really love these Rail Depot videos, not sure why, but they certainly don't make it easy for you. I think the guy in the lorry in front of you must have been late for his tea.😆😆 Reversing and remembering your social etiquette, never an easy thing to do.🤣🤣 Thanks again for a really entertaining video. Safe journeys.
Very capable reverse, reminding me of my supermarket days reversing through car park then opstecal corse and last but not least avoid paper bailing machine in back yard, anyway great video and stay safe.
It’s in its way! I’ve just been busy at work and on my day off I went to the zoo with my son & granddaughter who’s 3 years of age and reminded me how amazing the world can be! 🦒🧸 😂😁
It always amazes me that the first person I ask where do I tip mate, duno is the answer, who has parked there car in the way to the entrance to the yard or factory ends up tipping me half hour later. London overspill towns are full of lazy people a wagon turning up means they have to do some work 😕
I usually either try to find the shunter or a fork truck driver, they usually know, failing that I just park in the way until someone says, “you need to be over there!” 😂😂
Actually, it is the law that toilets must be provided for visitors as well as staff. And they are breaking the law for refusing to let you use them. How you handle the situation is another matter altogether; refuse access to what is being delivered? leave the site? refuse to move from the site? take the matter up with your boss?. Probably the best way is to speak top someone in authority and point out this aspect of law.
All the railway sites I’ve been to have been spot on, I’ve never had a problem with using the facilities but other companies can be a problem. I guess the law is why some have porta loos, so they can say they are for filling the criteria. 😁
Yes, madness! You’d think we all would have learned that cleanliness stops illness spreading! The toilets here are always spotless which makes a nice change. 😁
If these companies didn't put stupid obstacles in the way, it'd make you HGV drivers life's much better & safer. Again displaying exceptional driving skills. Where's the equal rights? Would not being allowed to use the toilets be classed as discrimination against women.
Yes, my OCD tidying goes mad at these places, I want to tidy everything and put stuff away 😂🤣😂 I don’t think the companies who don’t let outside drivers use their toilets do it just to women, they don’t let ANY outside drivers use them, which I find astounding as I’m sure they would expect to be able to use one if they visited a different depot. I really don’t see the problem. 🤷🏼♀️ Thanks for watching 😁

It is amusing, they see what they want to see. 😂😂

It’s the same in a lot of places, It’s just a case of ignoring the pressure they are trying to put you under and have patience with yourself. 😁

Hi 👋🏻, yep “same job but different!” Thanks for watching 😁
'Barmy' very polite but fully understandable. with regards to facilities the railways have been on top of those things for a long time 40 plus yrs at least, you would be surprised at the amount of women who work on the railways indoors or outdoors, safe travels...
Yes they are always clean and pleasant. Thanks for watching 😁
Well done again, my son in law is a driver total respect to you all
Thank you 😁

Very true and regular blindside reversing onto bays 😩😁
Untidy Yard makes for more problems.
Clear the decks of bins and vehicles !
I always feel like tidying up! 😂😂
Thanks for video , rail depots are nearly always congested . Take care
I’m finding that out! 😂😂👍🏻
Well done, driving through these little streets, filled with Park cars😅

It’s in its way! I’ve just been busy at work and on my day off I went to the zoo with my son & granddaughter who’s 3 years of age and reminded me how amazing the world can be! 🦒🧸 😂😁
Serious skills there 👌
Thank you 😁
It always amazes me that the first person I ask where do I tip mate, duno is the answer, who has parked there car in the way to the entrance to the yard or factory ends up tipping me half hour later.
London overspill towns are full of lazy people a wagon turning up means they have to do some work 😕
I usually either try to find the shunter or a fork truck driver, they usually know, failing that I just park in the way until someone says, “you need to be over there!” 😂😂
👋....hola...😊
Hi 👋🏻
Do you ever drive any different lorries, other than the DAF?
Yep, if you go back in the videos you will see different ones. 😁
Actually, it is the law that toilets must be provided for visitors as well as staff. And they are breaking the law for refusing to let you use them. How you handle the situation is another matter altogether; refuse access to what is being delivered? leave the site? refuse to move from the site? take the matter up with your boss?.

I really enjoy your blogs especially when you are telling other drivers off for doing stupid things. Remember you can’t argue with stupidity.
😂🤣😂👍🏻
Suppose to supply/let you use toilets but think when the pandemic came they wouldn't let you use any for some stupid reason.
Health & Safety
Yes, madness! You’d think we all would have learned that cleanliness stops illness spreading!
The toilets here are always spotless which makes a nice change. 😁
If these companies didn't put stupid obstacles in the way, it'd make you HGV drivers life's much better & safer. Again displaying exceptional driving skills.

I can tell you you'll go nowhere quickly at all in Aylesbury school runs.
Yep it certainly seems that way! 😂😂
