Hey guys, I just want to firstly say that this video isn’t sponsored or paid for by CBW I just wanted to use my platform to help these guys as the pandemic has hit every business hard and if I can help then I will. Over the past few months the coaching industry has been on pause without much help from government and the bus industry has taken a big hit. The message was to avoid public transport...

Переглядів 8 тис.4 роки тому
First of all what do you think to this new angle? I thought I'd film something a little different with this camera as I've got a go pro clamp! haha Usually the 435 starts the journey at Holmfirth, West Yorkshire however this wasn't possible due to road resurfacing on New Mill road. So the Journey was started and terminated at shepley. Someone asked me on the live stream to try to film an MCV so...

Thank you for the opinions on the new camera angle, it gives the video a whole new view. I will do a variety of the camera angles because I think its nice to see them all! The 262 usually departs from Brighouse on the return leg of the route however due to the revised timetables we we're only running to Mirfield and back to Huddersfield so I thought I would get it on camera as it was the last d...

231 HUDDERSFIELD 🚌 Double Decker Cab Cam Lockdown Special 🚌
It’s 3.5km from my bus depot to home. I take my car as to walk would take about 20 to 25 minutes. Also it may be raining or at night, so the car is the best option. There would be no call for a staff bus as our shifts often finish at vastly different times. There is no depot supervisor, so we park the bus, check it over, do the logbook work, lock up, and drive home. Picton, South Island, New Zealand.
Thank you for sharing this, bus drivers are under represented in our society and they should be rewarded fairly with rest and pay.
I find the hardest swing is when you finish at 1am are back in for like a 10 start and work a 11hr shift but then start at 5am the 3rd day your body is goosed. The biggest challenge is the lack of respect from other road users if I am honest, at times I think my indicators are connected to car accelerators and roundabouts OMG it might be give way to the right but it's also give way to vehicles already in the roundabout not speed up to cause a problem because you're coming off a blind slip road from the right, news flash buses aren't as fast as cars when getting away and require time
Wanna become a bus driver but not sure of what company to drive for
Are you ever coming back Was a great channel
U do a rally good job on here keep up there good work on here I hop u are ok today
We use this machine in Australia, particularly in rural areas. Ours is slightly different however the functions are exactly the same except for the alt key being the trip key. Great video.
This brought back memories of driminga route ,aster woth a crash gearbox
Notice that his arms never cross always tn to two or twenty to four.
A very professional video, Shaun. Interesting to be shown around the plant which normally wouldn't be possible. I think Optare buses are just great.
11:39 is that Denny dale train station
The door at 3:12 did not like that turning!😂
Anyone no why his videos have stopped?
That's a nice bus
Wheres that "see you tomorrow when im at arriva" went, its been 2 years.
He posted a couple posts on Facebook in 2022, and he says he'll make a video explaining his absence. It's been 2 years since then but hopefully we'll see it eventually.
@@DriverHenryWho3245what his facebook
Is it inevitable doing the early shifts or you can avoid it if you don't like it ?
why did this channel stop uploading ?
3:59 666
Almost 3 years ago and this was the last video
On March 23rd it was my birthday lol
Me too
The first part of the video all I could hear in my head was “hey, I predict an earthquake up in here”
Buses get away with everything , thats why after passing I had 2nd thoughts , cut up the Licences up , not worth it , Driver responsibility always . Tacho is on coaches, HGV , bus companies just change the Bus number , to get out of the EU regs. Tottally agree with all youve said .
Hi
Unfair dismissal though cuz the company is being unfair
Like video 😅😮 Well done 🎉
I thought hgv trucking was worse bus is a nightmare
icl i kinda sounds like a b7rle
@DoubleDeckerAnton I had a wonderful Christmas with my family hopefully u have a wonderful blessed new year may 2024 be a wonderful year to all of bus drivers out there
Intercity coach drivers work under EU rules.
I Know you are tight in Yorkshire. But OMG buy a scraper 🤣
When you flop college and university
And what are you up to?
@@Mick0296 not driving a bus thats what. If I fail and get fired from 100 jobs and be a bum for 10 years I can still apply for a bus driver job and get the job thats how desperate they are for bus drivers. No one stays at these dead end jobs.
@@No-Face3790 fair
shit hole
I like fiat mellor minibus ❤❤
If you work on the railway you wanna work for an actual train operating company or network rail because its basically guaranteed work and you get paid regardless if you have work because your on a proper contract.
2023 anyone?
Loved MPD’s, the. We got Solo SRs. Nice while it lasted.
Spot on. Drivers have to be awake and alert, but the companies don't consider this when allocating shifts. Their only consideration is if it's legal. It's the drivers responsibility to make sure they're fit for work. But then that means if we call in we lose pay. Also like you say, if we say we're tired the company doesn't really accept that. Even though a tired driver is a pretty serious safety issue!
I'm a bus driver too you made some excellent points on driver fatigue
😂😂😂😂😂 2:40😂😂😂
Watching this in 2023 as a vehicle cleaner , anyone who watches this paint brushes are your best friend
What type of drug test is performed? Saliva/urine etc. love your vid!
very surprised how you're not given clip on ties like tfl
Your videos are so informative, thanks so much, im currently training to be a bus driver 😅pray for me 🙏🏽get rest 💯
Don’t do it.
@@tonyleedham5462 I'm going to drive minibuses instead, less crazy I hope 🙏🏽just started bus school 🚸 🚍 praying I don't regret it 😥🤣
In otger words "how would you like me to fuck you in the ass? BecUse were about to fuck you and you had better be ok eith that" Get stuffed.
