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!

Passenger Conversations Part 12

[Doors open at Hospital Stop and Woman gets on, Stares and puts a £2 coin on the tray]

*Silence*

“Where are you going?”

“Tesco…Bletchley”

“You do need to say where you are going, I am unable to guess”

“It is up to YOU to ask me where I am going”

“Sorry, No, It’s down to you to tell me where you want to go, Just like this notice says here” [Points]

“GIVE ME MY CHANGE!”

[Puts change on tray] “Please and Thank You work wonders too”

[Woman walks off]

Been suffering with Joint and muscle aches for months, 18 of them infact, No one was able to identify these pains and give it a name, So I carried on in near constant pain, Hurting to move, Hurting to sit still, Feeling tired n like shit all the time, Untill someone finallly did a blood test. This revealed that i had near non existant levels for Vitamin D. All I have to do now is take two teaspoons a day from this bottle each day… and after just two days the pain has all but gone 😀 Feels great to be able to move without having to prepare yourself for stabbing pain… It’s a “woo!” moment I feel !! 🙂
