We end up living at the bus garage/depot, due to the amount of hours that we all work every week.
I do try to get to work a bit early, but at the end of the working day. Whooosh I’m gone.
Hello Mike, just caught up with this one, agree with all you say, except the bit where you say Tfl will jump down on the Company if they break the Law, it is the Traffic Commissioners, (the people who issue the Operator's, Licences (Blue or green disc on the nearside windscreen), who will do this. They can shut a PSV Operator down for hours or maintenance rules breaches.
As far as Drivers go they can revoke their PCV Entitlements for anything from a driving ban to a Criminal Conviction. powerful people.
Hope you and Missus are keeping well, don't forget, next Sunday, (17th) the Bromley Vintage Running Day is on, at least a couple of RT's on the old 94, Grove Park to Petts Wood, and single deck RF's on the 227.
Thanks for the reminder
Tangent! Bloody hell, that was confusing and filled to the lid with tongue twisters hahah. Hope jury service goes well for you - nothing too time consuming haha. We’ll miss you for the two weeks Mike, good luck!
Thanks Thomas.
Here is a very good question, how does driving hours or even a duty work on a clock change? E.g as you know clocks go forward and back once a year, how does this effect some duties? Or you not sure on this as most TB duties are in by 1am any how?
The duties don’t change, just the clocks.
nice vid mate.. 1st question, working before with STG, do you always take your 5mins break before starting your next trip?
2nd question, what are the implications of taking or not taking your 5 mins break on every trip?
hope to get answers from you mate and it will be much appreciated.. Many thanks 👍
I would always take 5mins. Unless I was coming off for meal relief or home. Where time is of the essence.
If you’re late you’re late. Toilet breaks are important. Always tell the controller. He can’t make you drive through, but he can ask.
What is count as a driving time ? Does first bus use check is counted as a driving time ? If you have 5 minutes break between services on a terminal point does it count as driving time or not ?
Driving time is the time you spend driving. Not stand time just driving the bus.
Hi, i am in the process of joining metroline on reading the contract it says you are responsible for traffic fines incurred, is this something bus drivers worry about or are councils more forgiving for busses on their box junctions, have you had to pay any.
I’ve not had fines. You wouldn’t get many council fines as they are generally parking. You’re more likely to get speeding or traffic light points and fines.
What about the 6.30 hour rule? And examples as well.
6.5hrs and your duty is finished???
@@_Mikes_Life So after 6hrs 30 mins of driving you can just go home? What about breaks?
@@Ti-vh3jr not driving. But if you get stuck somewhere
Tangent! Very interesting as always.... Get this promised Gardening Vlog done!?!?
I’m building myself up to it. I can’t face what I’m gonna see up the bindweed & brambles chest high. It’s going to be like a very small jungle.
@@_Mikes_Life not a keen gardener at all myself, however if anyone can enthuse or educate me to enjoy it, reckon that gentleman is you!
@@garethcharman7702 I’ll give it a go. Just for you.
New Zealand bus driving is diffent.
We are allowed up to 13 hrs driving in a day.
30 + mins for meal break plus 10 mins rest break.
Wow. That’s a long old day.
@@_Mikes_Life yep
Wow, do they quiz you on knowing all of that before you take your first bus? how complicated. Stay safe!
We have to take a three part theory test before we even set foot on a training bus
Please give an example
8hrs 30 min rule
45 min break, bus movement and 30 mins paid relief
Never heard of it.
Interesting video Mike. Bloody confusing but that’s their fault not yours lol. Don’t know why they can’t keep it simple and have the same for everywhere. Anyway enjoy your jury service and you behave 🤣. Tangent.
Tangent Mike - enjoy your jury service if that's the right phrase?
Thank Richard. I’m sure something different, is better than a change. If that’s the phrase. Lol
How are you a bus driver and taxi driver?
God no hate driving hours no the basics should make more straight forward 14 years as a coach driver still confusing did 7 hours in CPC recently was lost
Know what keeps you within the law, that’s enough
Snap know what I need to. Not like some of these coach anoraks seem to know it all probably read it in their sleep at night as well. Had to do 4 days CPC straight to keep my license upto date lost the will
@@rainshine3457 Lol. It’s all important stuff 🤪
I was reading through the CPC. Says the regular daily rest is 11 however if you choose split it the you take 4 hours then 9 hours, how does that work?!
@@jordan4541 Bus driving has to opt out of the working time directive. So rest is different.
16 hours max duty time
Tangent, isn’t that your middle name? Enjoy your jury duty Mike, be lucky
Tangent!...how about this one...most bus companies now-a-days circumvent the EU rules by splitting their bus routes over 50km (which is indeed 31.0686 miles) so for instance, Stagecoach around my end run a Route (555 from Lancaster to Keswick) the route used to run as one route but since the EU rules were introduced, it is now "split" half way, the same bus, same driver, same route number. The only difference is on the timetable it shows a little connection icon and tells passengers to remain on the vehcle.
If there’s a break in the route. It would get around the rules, I believe.
Tiredness is the biggest enemy of a bus driver. Accidents are inevitable with these domestic rules. I think the bus drivers hours are all over the place. It’s time they were tidied up to protect drivers. It will never happen.suppose I have to say Tangent. Enjoy you week off. Hope not to see you in it your honour
We can live in hope.
A melter for the Brain lol
