….Metro made a great announcement about the £1 million spent on new buses for Routes 1/1A/1B/1C’s, 2/2A’s and 7/7A’s… So why do I end up with this thing?!
This bus was travelling past the Hospital on Sunday morning in this state, The driver completely unaware that a whole panel was flapping about in the wind, Even with passing cars trying to let him know LOL…
Ever heard of a Bus company having a January Sale?! No?! Well we are!!
Not looking forward to the 1st Feb, When it goes back up to £3.20, Gonna be loads of hassle!
Would you rather have a faint bit of heat, But have to listen to a high pitched whine from the heater for Nearly seven hours, Or have no noise but be freezing cold?
This is me at 9am…
and this is me at 3.30pm…
This bus seemed to get colder with each hour that passed!
Oh and notice how there’s no passengers in either picture, It’s been that busy today LOL
…and before anybody says anything about me looking miserable, This is my Route 20 Face, OKAY!
When you have a bus with no ticket machine, It seems to take twice as long to load the bus. It seems to confuse people when you say it’s a free ride, They just stand there looking at you LOL. Well looks like one driver was getting tired of explaining it to each person judging my the picture I was sent today. (and If you are reading this Meatloaf this was NOT me!)
It also looks like our very own Mrs C is becoming a bit of a celeb! Here she is being ’spotted’ driving one of Aylesbury’s new Citaro’s in High Wycombe (thanks ‘Spotter Matt!’). It’s also been suggested that if any of you spot Mrs C and manage to get a photo that you could please send me a copy, Then I can start a Mrs C Gallery LOL.
This is gonna go right to her head but ‘Spotter Matt’ said “She was very friendly and I have to say a good driver (considering it was her first time with an unfamiliar bus and the other Citaro driver we had on the 300 seemed to like the kerbs).“
She’ll be dining out on that comment for months now ’spotter Matt’ LOL
I’ve seen the latest in Bus Heating technology this week in one of our buses….
Someones been complaining that there isn’t enough pictures of me on here (God knows why!) so here’s one of me & Mrs C freezing our bits off on an open top bus in London last week…
