    Bus companies need to honours these basic requests for the good of the industry as a whole. Without bus drivers there's no bus service. Full stop!

    Solidarity. Can't behlive thar this is all still going on in 2024. I was on the Buses from 98 to 2007. Some toilets were put in on some of our routes but they didn't live up to the promises they had made to us.
    Bus Drivers don't get the respect they deserve. Don't even get treated like human brings by some.

    The minimum rest between duties wants sorting out. 8 and half hours isn’t long enough. I believe Train Drivers get a minimum rest of 12 hours between duties.

      I appreciate all your support over the years. I've tried to show what the bus driving job is like and that it can be the right career choice for some people.
      When I started, I went on my own strong childhood ambition to become a bus driver, as I'd not really been happy working in other industries.

      Thanks Stephen. Yes we are in it for the long run and to get better conditions for London bus drivers.
      It is tough out there, as we are on the frontline, dealing with it all.
      It starts with drivers taking personal responsibility by standing together united in the belief that we can make changes for the better.
      There are many issues to address.
      These 12 points will help us to make the job worth staying for in the long run.
      So many drivers leave, because of the current conditions.

    Hey anton have you heard about the change to the 45

    • @DoubleDeckerAnton
      @DoubleDeckerAnton  Місяць тому

      I have yes. They are streamlining the routes. The 45 route will no longer serve Elephant n castle to camberwell via Walworth road, but there are about 8 routes that already serve that part of the route, such as 12, 35, 40, 68,148, 171, 176 & 468.
      Route 45 has allowed route 118, to connect people further than Brixton to Camberwell.

    • @DoubleDeckerAnton
      @DoubleDeckerAnton  Місяць тому +2

      As employees we have to respect social media policies that are 'in place' to protect companies.
      These policies have been in place, at the birth of social media over sixteen years ago. When bus drivers London wide meet up, we do not come in bus uniform, as we are not representing the company, but are using our own spare time to address issues, regarding bus driver conditions in general.

      I think conditions were a lot better in the 1980s, compared to what we have in present/recent times. I don't think you fully understand what it means to be a bus driver in modern times.
      Remember David, times have changed since 40 years ago.
