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
We've been here before
Wondered how long it would be before I had to do 200’s, At least here you get a decent bus for it!
and I’ve never seen a bus with so many different warning lights….
Conversations #3
“One and a Half to Stony Stratford please”
“How old is the child please?”
“Under Sixteen”
“Yes, But how old are they please?”
“Fifthteen”
“That will be an Adult fare then, Child fares are only available for 14 Years and Under,
Cold Cold week
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…
Even more on the orange Trident
Some more photos
More on the orange Trident
It seems that the Trident fire was very serious, There’s barely anything left of it, and the road had to be resurfaced today, Picture below.
On a happier note, here’s a few of our 11 new solos for the 1’s, 2’s and 7’s…
Bye Bye Bus
News reaches me tonight that the Orange Trident, Rebuilt for MK Metro, That caught fire a couple of years ago in Ware (Blogged about here), Has Caught fire again tonight in Chichley, near Newport Pagnell.
It sounds like the fire has done alot more damage this time round, I’ll post more info If i get it.
Just reach in and grab it
I really do wonder how some bus passengers manage to dress themselves and get out the front door on their own.
As you can clearly see there is a hole in this assault screen so you can reach in and get your Ticket…
Yet all afternoon I’ve been trying not to laugh as around 4 out of every 10 people have tried to put their hand through the plastic instead on the hole! LOL
Where you going??
This destination is for a non-english friends, Although I’m not too sure what language it could be classed as…
Got to drive a new bus today with only 180 miles on the clock, Typical though that I’m using in on Route 4 when It’s branded for Route 1 LOL, But me previous bus had a defect…. It had that new car smell about it 😀
