Always going to happen at some point

Thank You

Yes indeed, just cannot find another camera that can match the iPhone quality.

Could be

You went to the trouble to identify all the buses! Cool.

😢😢

Thanks

👍👍

Thanks

@@BristolRE you are welcome

Thanks

I will certainly try, but I dont get to drive them anymore, if I see it parked up on the forecourt I may be able to

@@BristolRE ok thank you for that Regards Richard

I'm Conmfired To HV63 LJ62BZY Transferred From Palmers Green In October 2019

Yes indeed

The Marshall Dart? Not sure about it's history but Go-Ahead did use one on the 192 and W10 regularly in this year

I'm not aware of any 4 day rotas in London

​​@@BristolREI've heard they exist at Rainham, so must be rare. I've also heard that the 8 o'clock starts at UX have only been around since last year. Would evening drivers have gone to the union for it to happen then?

@@mohibj Certainly drivers can get together and go the Union to ask for a change in rota etc, would need to be a majority wanting it though

@@BristolRE talking of Uxbridge, have you heard that the U1/U3 merger has been called off? Agencies like London Travel Watch have suggested merging the U1 with the A10. Would be great for the A10 to become part of U-lines.

@@mohibj I'm not really familiar with what goes on outside my local area anymore

Thanks

Thanks, and no worries, you take care

@@BristolRE thank you you too

@@shihanthetrainspotter Thanks

Yes, but getting very bland and boring compared to 40+ years ago

Not sure how long ago the route changed hands, not too long I think

Yes indeed

Thanks, things get moved around

Thank You

Thanks

Yes, everywhere is becoming boring now for buses, that's why I try to get some advert buses in the video

Thank You

Thanks

Thanks

@@BristolRE you are welcome

Thank You

Thanks, lol

Thanks, yes it is odd to see them

@BristolRE The previous operator was HCT Plus but they was in the sale to Stagecoach which makes them odd lol

@@TrainBoy-tf9gh Indeed, Lol

Some do look good

@@BristolRE I agree, just not a fan of ones that cover up the windows.

@@aaronsmith9209 I agree

Thanks, and yes it is most odd

archway is considered north???

@@TerryJohnson7 Yes, it's in North London

@@TerryJohnson7 it's North London it has N Postcode

Thanks, not keen on doing full journeys, I'll do the occasional bus driver ones again when I get back to work after my annual leave

@@BristolRE people really enjoy watching a full journey / a day of a bus driver aka recording the full day

@@DylanStrevens2 I couldn't sit on a bus end to end, that would bore me to tears, so unlikely I'll ever do a full journey video.

Thanks

I never even noticed that!

@@BristolRE o

Thanks

In the old days of London Transport the working week always started on a Saturday, I guess this helped with holidays as back then most package holidays or holiday camps etc you booked a week starting on a Saturday. When you join a garage you get given a rota with a space on it, and you will stay on that rota forever. If you want to change to a different route/rota you put a memo in and wait for a slot to become available.

​@@BristolRE. Thank you for answering my questions. Interesting to compare Norway vs UK bus driver working conditions. Looking forward to you next video👍😃

@@LifeInTheBusLane You're welcome, Thanks

Rota's like this are pretty much standard. Shame First Capital disappeared.

A continuation of the same duty, so top line 108 through to the end of the week, drop down for the weekend duties, finish 108 on the Monday then two days off

@@BristolRE Do you think the bus industry would want to trial a 4-day work week?

@@mohibj Four day week works well, I was on a four day week rota in Ipswich, 4 x 10 hour shifts, work a rest day and still have 2 days off. What would be better is four on four off, but you'd need the same amount of weekend shifts as you do weekday shifts for that to work

​@@BristolREso, do routes with a separate Friday rota have four day week rotas?

@@mohibj No, you just get a different duty card for your Friday shift

Yes

Loooool

Indeed

Rest L simply means the duties following that Rest will be lates, this is a late rota so kind of pointless, but it's standard. On a rota where all duties are mixed it will say Rest E, Rest M or Rest L for earlies, middles or lates

@@BristolRE Thank you so much. Really appreciate your explanation. Thank you for the insight!
