Driving a 500 to Watford last week and an “Wrinkly” gets on..
Me: ‘Where you going?’
Wrinkly: ‘They keep Aligators at home you know!’
Me: ‘<silence>……errr…Did you want to go somewhere?!?’
Wrinkly: “Kings Langley please”
I have no idea what that was about
Well after my last post about my enormous phone bill I’ve decided to change networks (again). No matter how careful I am about calling and texting people it still seems to end up around the £100 a month mark.
Far too much!!! Looking for a cheap SIM Only deal or perhaps Pay As You Go again… Dunno.
Well it’s Easter Sunday and who would’ve thought we’d get snow! I took the opportunity to record the event this morning in the City Centre when most people were still asleep, and the fact that all the shops were shut today to get a few pics.
Lots of disruption at work at the moment with the start of the Bus Station refurb starting last Monday. (I’m writing a page about the refurb and the Aylesbury Transport Hub in general at www.arrivatheshires.co.uk). So far a few buses have had their stops moved into “The Tunnel” outside the station and the waiting room has been cut in half…. That’s it! That’s all they’ve done! It’s going to be a looooooong 17 weeks.
Oh yes, and this is a govelling apology to Jake for me being so miserable when he got on my bus the other week, Next time I see you I’ll just go for plain evil. 😉
Ah yes and this is a big ‘Shout oooout” to Mrs C. See told you I’d do it. 😛
How on earth did my mobile bill get to this?!
It’s time for another round of the ARRIVA Employee Photo Competition and I’ve been out and about today with a couple of buses, I need to select 2 from the photos below and I want your help. Please leave a comment on the one(s) you like the best. Thanks 🙂

Multiple Red Route 9’s
Let’s see how quick you can guess this location.
This place has been causing major problems on one of our routes today with road resurfacing. Buses all over the place.
But at least my bus was apologetic!…
(Don’t be fooled by the Route number, I changed it before taking the pic)
Another quality repair…
and this is just for the bus people that read this blog..
Another one ends it’s life at Aylesbury Depot…
Okay, Let’s see how well you all do. Can anyone tell me what route I am on by looking at this picture?
I’ll update the post when someone guesses or everyone gives up
EDIT: Just wanted to point out my driving isn’t that bad, The fitter that brought it out as replacement for my broken down bus parked it half on the kerb!
UPDATE
Congratulations to Matt, Mark, MK Girl who all guessed correctly that I was indeed on a 280 in Tiddington. The first bus I had decided that it didn’t like having oil in it’s engine and thought it wold be a much better idea to deposit it on the road instead.
The situation with the replacement bus got worse in that the Destination blind wouldn’t move either as I was travelling along moved itself to show “Not In Service”, So I ended up stopping at very stop just incase someone wanted the bus.. Ended up going home 45 minutes late 🙁
Me and Mrs C entered some pictures into the ARRIVA Employee Photo Competition a couple of weeks ago.. Not fantastic as it started to rain before I had got the pics I wanted, But they ain’t bad, What do you think??
It’s finally here, Today I’m 29!!
