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.

Bus timetables are coming up short!

I was going to make a comment about this, and the lack of accuracy with the reporting, But I’ve decided against it

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!

TV Tonight!

Well, If you are at home tonight, and have nothing better to do then you can spend a bit of time BusDriverJames spotting on Channel 5 at 8pm tonight during The Gadget Show. I am sure the bus will get far more coverage than me, But will be interesting to see how it’s played out compared to how it was recorded on the day!

Let me know if you see me!
