    I laughed out loud listening to the 'Two Shauns' going on about the bus job! 🤣 😂
    You two are a natural 'double-act' and I look forward to more of your videos from my home town of Huddersfield! .... 😁 👌 👍.....

    Hi lads - I love this style of videos that you too Shauns did on castle hill, the banter, jokes and nice summery scenery, these videos are such a lift to watch on miserable winter nights. I hope you lads do more of these!

    Serious: why do you have two seperate channels? The pleasure is not only doubled. You multiply each other 4×. In one channel you can also make seperate videos. This is a very good way to invite people to become a busdriver. Stronger than advertisements!

    Been watching your videos quite a lot over the past 18months, I haven't really commented but they give a great insight into the job. Recently an old friend who is already a bus driver managed to persuade me into applying, had my first drive last week, did about 3 or 4 hours, started in quiet areas then got thrown straight into city centre, seems weird going down roads marked bus only for the first time when you know the area as being bus only, but it was good fun anyway.

    Talking about rural bus routes, we have one called the TP which goes from the centre of Manchester to Derby, via Stockport, Disley, Whaley Bridge, Buxton, Taddington, Bakewell, Matlock etc. On this route I love the OAPs who get on because there’s a couple called Alice and Tim who get on and bring me a Bakewell Tart and a Sausage roll without fail if I’m on shift. I have no idea why they do it but it’s probably down to human kindness to the bus driver

Yes I was like u was my dream job very hard to balance with family all for £££ notes ask your self the question why no drivers ???? Management dont have a clue accident or complaint straight up there tea and biscuits. Service changes shifts to much bad for a few extra quid.

      That Yorkshire Bus Driver agree 100% we have the uni contract here and the buses have no screens much better and you can hear what they are saying properly, however some times and some routes your glad you have that bit of security on a night time, ideally buses would have screens that you could have up or down
