    Taking a T bus in this heat? You're brave. Yesterday I had and I kid you not 10 T buses go mechanical on the W3's. Literally one after the other, I was about to come back driving after yesterday lol

    Another great video Peter.
    What is the sign on, sign off time on this duty? How many hours paid?
    As a norwegian bus driver its interesting to compare with UK working conditions.
    Hopefully you can do a video explaining your rota soon.

    • @BristolRE
      @BristolRE  Рік тому +2

      You get 10 minutes sign on time, and 5 minutes sign off time, (plus walking time where needed) so the shift was 1707 sign on + 4 minutes walking and 0151 sign off. Paid at 11 hours as it was a Saturday shift so carries weekend enhancements

    To knock out the grid to charge buses. Yeah I know diesel and all that surrounds it is tricky with world politricks at the moment but it would save all this. Hydrogen is probably too expensive. I remember the heat we had in 2002 where most buses in central london radiator blew up due to the heat. Sounds like the CNGs we drive here, literally A/C on all day knocked out the fuel
