You are doing the best bus driving i ever saw.
I passed my all classes' PSV test in the '60s. I passed it in a 1955 AEC double-decker bus with a crash gearbox. The test standards were high in those days. Bus drivers today have luxury vehicles and automatic gearboxes. They would find it hard if they had to drive the buses I did. I loved being a bus driver, that was when we had a conductor on the bus, and as soon as one-man operation came in I left the job and started driving private coaches.
Opo buses came in don’t know where you drove but crew buses were in London up until 2000’s last 2005 ..
@@fwof3347 I live in the North of England and my depot changed to one man busses in the early 70s That is the reason I went on to driving coaches and lorries.
@@fwof3347 I drove for The Northern Bus Company in the North of England and they went one-man operations in the early 70s. That is the reason I left the job and went on to drive HGVs and coaches.
I passed my test on a crash box double decker though never had the luxury of a conductor job got worse when privatised lost most of the privileges so left the job
@@davidmcnally4773 Same.
Your driving and stopping is very smooth and pedestrian considered _ friendly there. Good for people with joint conditions/ arthritis/ slipped discs..😅
I’ve wanted to be a bus driver my whole life only 5 more years to go 😂. Keep up the Good work!
Don't bother it's a shit job, i did it for 4 years, worst job i ever had dealing with fights, drunks abusive passengers and horrible shifts.Traffic is a nightmare and if your running late or the bus is full and you cant let people on it's always your fault.
don’t understand the “always your fault” part
@@noooo_safechat2589 Cos the passengers always blame you when they get on if your running late and they don't understand if the bus is full up why they can't get on. Your on the front line and you get all the crap.
they could use common sense and actually look in the windows to see if the bus is full. that doesn’t exist in this world though
@@noooo_safechat2589if it isn’t the passengers, it’s the controllers also blaming the driver for being late. Very stressful job. Glad I quit, though I miss the people.
Yiue drivubg and stopoing is cery smooth and pedestrian consudered there. Good for people with joint conditions/ arthritis/ slipped discs..😅
Could not imagine driving without an assault screen
Slough bus station is burnt.
I drive the metrobus in Bristol and we do not have to do any of this, it is tap ton tap off no tickets on the bus
Before you become a bus driver don't become a bus driver. You will work too many hours giving your life to a bus company and will be treated like shite by the public and company you work for. Think before you do this. It's a depressing lifestyle and the longer you do it there is less chance of other opportunities arising.
Good driver
My advice? Don’t! Awful job, people are awful, roads are awful, don’t look at it through rise tinted glasses! I hated every second of being a bus driver..
We who use public transit are glad you're no longer a bus driver too with that negative attitude.
@@tylerhergott3893 Totally agree, I was a bus driver for a few years and loved it, you will allways get that one passenger who "Wants" to have a bad day, but the overwhelming majority of passengers appreciate the bus drivers service. I was earning £4,460 a month I enjoyed it so much I would have done it for half the money.
As people say,its what you make it. I find in London it's alot harder as you can only take payment for one passenger due to TFL and the cab drivers in central London are, well dangerous.
I have had worse jobs that want more out of you than they give.
Filmed sometime ago, that's Slough bus station which has been closed since Oct 2022 after a fire.
They rebuilt it didn't they?
No, it's still left as it was after the fire. Don't even think the case against the 2 arrested in connection with the fire has gone to court yet.
@@AlanHerbert-bg2tz Oh
This is one weird steering wheel control :/
I thought it was Iver Swindon or Gloucester
It's in Slough.
Wow I want to drive the bus
Nr. One :Drive to the left
Your suppose to use yout Hazzard lights while reversing out the bus station bay. Has 'nt your company got a gdpr & social media policy .. the customers are great on that route at waiting for the driver to input the tickets into the ticketer machine 👀👍... ussauly i get customers plonk thier card on while still asking 😮
Curious, how where you allowed to film within a company bus without breaking gdpr/privacy laws/rules?
Either he is agency or he is taking a chance by recording and it’s been around 1 and half years since he recorded so they might of just allowed him
@@TrainFanTV123still illegal anyway
Because it’s not breaking GDPR at all, it’s not illegal to record I’m public at all, the only laws regarding recording in public is up skirting which this driver definitely hasn’t done 😂 no one has privacy in public hence why it’s public
Most bus companies won't allow it, and is deemed gross misconduct, even saying anything negative about your company will get you called on.
@@Phoenix-jm7ivand documents too
Concentrate on your job instead of doing videos for clicks
He is doing his job while entertaining enthusiasts and possible future drivers. The camera is on a mount which allows him to drive without getting distracted.
Shut up Matthew bellend
Bet you're fun at parties...
Grow up mate, he's literally doing his job - driving a bus. Just happens to be on camera.
