More Metro Blogging
Have found another driver at MK Metro who is blogging about Bus Driving, Although they seem to be keeping their identity a secret…

I'm in the mood for ranting
Brace yourselves as I’m in the mood for a rant!
Wednesday morning started with no trains from MK, Which meant the Rail and Bus station were awash with coaches, Why they allowed so many into the Station square at once is beyond me, They were everywhere! None of the buses could get onto the stops, and at one point, it took me 13 minutes to drive round the station instead of the usual 2.
Pull up to the stop on a number 8
“Is the 20 coming?”
<shrug shoulders> “No idea I’m driving an 8”
“Oh, I know”
“Then why ask me?”
“Just thought you’d know where the other buses are?”
“Nope! Perhaps they are hiding from you?! Bye!!”
“err Bye”
People must think you know where every single bus is at every minute of the day, I does make you think how their brains work.
How about a bus wiith some enforced Air Con?
Well that’s what you get with the cab window falls out as yer going down the road.
Luckily I managed to save the window, Hoping to earn some brownie points
But it didn’t work as once I’d dropped the last of my passengers off and got back to the depot, The replacement bus I was given was colder than having no window lol.
Quiz Time #6
Put put your hand out for the bus…
The bus pulls up…
The doors open and you get on….
This is what you see… (You’ll just have to pretend there’s a driver there! lol)
What’s the first thing you’d say to the driver? (keep it clean! :-))
At long last….
I was finally allocated a decent bus!! 😀 I definatly didn’t have my Route 20 face on today!
Roll up! Roll up!
This came through the door the other day, Seems like we’re really going for it with this January Sale!
What this should say of course is:
“As part of a
Happy New Year
Yesterday was day two of route 7’s.
Did I get a new bus this time round??
Manky, Whoops! & Sale!
I think I’m being picked on at work….
….Metro made a great announcement about the
Would you?
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
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have a good one. Here’s to another year of blogging!
