More transfers in
A few transfers in to us ate starting to appear as we start to transfer out most off our solo’s.
This bus, 3513 was collected from Watford today and will be on the streets of MK as soon as it’s been converted to single door and painted green.. Two similar buses are already done and just waiting for destination blinds.
ETM’s
A day spent at Wycombe garage trying to sort out their real time system…..
I’ve never understood why they park all the broken/dead buses against the fence nearest the road so that its the first thing you see as you pull up alongside the depot… Not the greatest impression!
…and apparently this bus was on fire for more than 3 hours lol
Hope to have details of some MK route changes for April soon!
A strange type of day
It’s been a rather odd sort of day today.
It’s not every day you are asked to drive a film crew around town in a bus.
The gadget show came to MK to test Noise Cancelling Headphones, and what better was to do it than on a noisy bus!
The day was spent driving round the City Centre while they filmed various bits, Which even included a guy playing the bagpipes.

Never did I imagine one day that I’d be driving round in a bus with a man playing the bagpipes at full volume!!
Been a great day!
Time for a “refresh”
I’ve started to notice that I’m getting more and more visitors looking for timetables for buses in Milton Keynes, Even though the MK Council and Arriva sites have them all available and rank much higher on google when searching.
At the moment, I just copy over the MKC page and link to that, I’m starting to wonder if it would be in my interest to tap into this generated traffic, Which then may in turn be worth a few quid with an advert or two. (I’m not talking about plastering the site with banner ads, and I certainly didn’t create this blog to make money, But something that covers the cost of hosting wouldn’t be too bad.)
This blog has always been about me and my job with a bit of Public Transport information thrown in alongside, I’ve toyed with the idea of creating a blog within a blog for the Information section, But don’t think I would have the time to keep it fresh and upto date.
Is there anyone out there that is ofay with WordPress that would be interested in helping with that side of things? Someone that could put up bus news etc? Nothing confirmed yet, Just thinking out aloud really but would be interesting to see if there is any interest.
hummmmmmmmm………
60 months later
It’s been 5 years, but as of today I’ve made my last payment on my IVA!!
So happy it’s over… Now the saving begins!!
Photos of late
Just a random collection of photos.. They come with no explanation.
Miscalculation
Hmmmm I’m not convinced the woman doing the weather on Look East this afternoon got it quite right when she said it wouldn’t snow here till tomorrow….
…. Still only 2 hours of this shift left 
Allocation Fail
Another Bus transfer
Ex Stevenage Scania has arrived at MK, complete with route branding for Stevenage route 100.
