My son is 18,obsessed with stagecoach, he just passed his theory tests,starts driver training nxt week,so proud of him,his child hood dream is coming true hopefully, great video.
Appreciate the kind words! and best of luck to your son, theory is the hardest part in my opinion because Im terrible with questions! He's gonna smash it!
Excellent, a first class presentation. You are a credit to Stagecoach , a fabulous empoyee and a fantastic video producer. We absolutely loved this broadcast.
I used to drive with Stagecoach East and I must say, I couldn't help but notice the green road driver feedback unit. That is one thing I don't miss about bus driving lol. Great video!
@@lclsuklapse7082 sadly yes, it was a mutual decision with me and management under medical grounds. There may be a return on the cards but I am also contemplating returning to the airport as my heart lies with aviation 😂 great to hear from you!
Stumbled across this randomly through recommended, best 25 minute watch of the day! Best of luck with the channel, bus driver Day in the lifes are so interesting to watch!
I've just had a holiday in Keswick in the Lake District which is all Stagecoach and obviously a lovely area of the country to work in. A fair number of the journeys I travelled on, on the 555, were standing room only and the drivers were all very obliging and made sure they got everyone on, although I might suspect not totally legally. Arrive at Keswick bus station, let about 70 passengers off and then you see the bus leaving again fifteen minutes later for Lancaster with perhaps another 70 or so on. I'd love to read some comments from drivers based at Kendal to hear how they enjoy their working life, I suspect it may not be as idyllic as it might seem to the passenger!
Great video I love stagecoach as a company, While i was staying in Broadstairs Kent i rode on the number 69 from broadstairs to ramsgate aswell as riding the loop between Granville Theatre and Ramsgate Station, Would definitely ride stagecoach again!
Really enjoyed your video. I live in Stroud, my local route is 67. I have had a long-standing interest in buses, trams, coaches and trolleybuses from a boy. On UA-cam I follow Gyorgy Szabo - Flixbus driver; TramMeneer - Netherlands; James Underwood - works out of Westbury; Hugo Bazin - Zurich. More recently I discovered DashCamDrive - London. There are quite a few others. It is possible I might see you one day. Looking forward to more videos from you. Bryan.
Interesting video to watch from someone local. Im near Chippenham myself. Used to work for Stagecoach a long time ago Barnstaple Depot which was pretty good, nice colleagues, great rural routes, but was often sent to Exeter which I hated as a depot, unpleasant conditions and duties set to maximum drive- minimum breaks, buses in poor condition. You seem to enjoy your job there so it's great to see. At least you don't have to wear shirt and tie anymore 😁 Can't wait to see more
I’m surprised that they let u video when u in the cab but good to see I work for stagecoach and can be interesting job and stressful as well but can be good pay I just came back after a year off due to a illness but glad to be back again behind the wheel hope to see more videos well done
I’m a driver in Swindon stagecoach currently working over in Oxford atm I love this job always worked in retail stuck in the same place but that is why I done bus driving and I wouldn’t go back
This is very interesting to watch I myself work for Stagecoach East Midlands and am based out of Hull this was a great watch keep it up mate I’ve been driving nearly 3 years now and love every minute 👊
I interviewed at Stagecoach for a Trainee Bus Driving position about a month ago. The depot manager was an incredibly obnoxious, unpleasant, and rude bloke. The depot itself including the offices where filthy and smelt like body odur and coffee. I turned up in a suit and presentable he spent the interview talking about how horrid the job was and that most aren't "cut out for it". Needless to say, I didn't become a bus driver. Orginally worked in aviation manufacturing, wanted a change now employed as a maintenance officer at a local special needs school, and love it. I get to drive the mini bus as well, so best of both worlds, I guess. Honestly, nothing but respect for you, lads. The drivers cabin looks incredibly grim, cramped, and uncomfortable. Plus the fact your able to remember the routes, something that always amazes me. Random question on my school minibus I use a sat nav. Why won't big bus companies like Arriva and Stagecoach have them fitted ? Surley, you could have your route sent remotely steieght to your bus would also program the most fuel effiecent route and avoid traffic. All the best, buddy, and well done, you for doing the job certainly not for me. I hope your depot manager is a dam site nicer than the one I interviewed with.
Randomly recommended, 10 secs in i recognised where you were and what depot you would be going to! I live in Chalford so go past the depot every day. thanks for the insight into another world :)
Interesting to see. I start my bus driving journey on the 24th June and start training. I'm buzzing for it and find these kind of videos helpful in what to expect.
Enjoying it, I'm currently 3 1/2 weeks into training. I've got my reversing and practical test to complete then route learning/ticketing so little while to go until I'm out on the road picking up and dropping off passengers.
Well done buddy. I was only allowed to film outside the cab when I was at Stagecoach, surprised they let you film everything inside the cab! You'll enjoy driving the older Enviro400s, they have a lot of power
Interesting to hear your point of view. There's a Stagecoach depot just round the corner from me, and my neighbour in the next block to me is semi-retired, he stopped driving for Stagecoach 3 or 4 years ago but after 6 months re-applied to drive a maximum of 2 days a week. He generally just does a Wednesday shift now, although can quite often agree to doing an extra day here and there. However he's decided to call it a day this September when he turns 67. The Stagecoach depot is in Dumfries and comes under Stagecoach West Scotland. They have roughly 10-12 Optare Solos from 12-reg to 15-reg. Single deckers they have about 15-16, they are typically 10-regs, 62-regs, 13-reg and a handful of 64-regs. On top of that they have about 8 coaches, 5 of which do the Glasgow route and the rest go to Stranraer on the other side of the region (County) about 80 miles away.
I work for B&H buses, Nice to see this video. I catch the stagecoach bus from time to time as I live out in the sticks and your the only firm that will service us apart from a Sunday when there is no service at all. Day of rest I suppose =)
Hi mate, we were on the training bus together with Paul. We all had some good times on there. I love this idea. Will give the entire video a watch when I can. Best of luck to you pal.
Nice one mate. I'm a Bristol driver currently on loan to Gloucester so I'll have to keep an eye out for you at the Transport Hub. I'm envious of the fact you've driven 19188, that's one I really want to drive at some point. Apparently it used to be the best bus at Hyde Road
I do realy like these sort of videos even more so when they are by drivers in places I know like Gloucester as I go there from time to time as it aint far on the train from where i am and have been to as I am looking to become a bus driver within the next year or so
is there any chance in the future you can do some full route timelapses like the ones you did it bits of this video because they were realy good and I don't see many off them about
Quite interesting. But might I raise two points. It appeared from the start of the video right through until the end that you were extremely tired. I can understand a professional driver looking tired toward the end of a shift. But looking almost completely knackered at the start is perhaps not the best way to start your shift! Perhaps you ought to get to bed a little earlier in the evenings? My second point is the position of your hands on the steering wheel. For most of the footage when your hands were in picture you were holding the centre and right side of the horizontal bar on your steering wheel. Now we all know that's far from ideal. I appreciate that the old "ten to two" or "quarter to three" positions are not as expected these days. But if one of my "Traffic Officer" friends had seen your hands they may well have pulled you for a chat.... Might be worth you thinking about your hand positions. But other than that I enjoyed seeing what your day is like and will subscribe to you.
I'm also a bus Driver I work for National Express in the Midlands I'm always tired its part of being a bus driver, hours are all over the place every day your start and finish times are different you can start at 5am one morning and 12pm the next day your sleeping pattern is totally messed up. So its no surprise he looks knackered a lot of my colleagues look the same too.
@@AdamS168 Strewth. You guys do have my sympathy. I confess to not knowing the strange shift patterns. You'd think that any sensible employer would make it easier for their employees. As I say, you guys have my sympathy, and now my understanding.
Stumbled across this randomly and I'll admit. This was quite fascinating. I work for a certain blue bus operator over on the otherside of the South. Its fascinating to see how different things are but also how similar things are. How did your depot management take to you asking about doing this? I'm intrigued as I can imagine how the conversation would go with my depot 🤣
Nice video, I'm autistic and have been obsessed with buses since I was 2. My school that I go to is for kids with special needs and every day when I go to school in the taxi with my friends I see lots of Stagecoach Buses. I'd love to be a bus driver for Stagecoach South West here in Exeter when I'm older, I'm turning 16 in July so it's not long until I will be old enough to learn how to drive.
I’m obsessed with buses and I get lots of waves, smiles and thumbs ups! I want to be a bus driver and a question, how do you know which way to go on a route I’m just curious lol
instead of time lapse you should/could leave raw audio and speed maybe, or in separate videos potentially, maybe its just me but i find the raw footage a bit better
Hey bud, Stagecoach SW here! I’ve always been interested in other drivers publishing videos about our work day as there are a few of us in the company. I’ve no desire to myself but I thought it may fall foul of company social policies? Did you have to run it past your OM first? I’m genuinely interested and not criticising! Also, interesting they gave you a new bus as opposed to replacing the lamp, which was what would happen here with a defective headlight at first user.
How do you feel when people take photos of your bus because I know some bus drivers don't like people taking photos of them as I live in London bus drivers don't mind people taking their numbers but they don't like their photos been taken so what is your on take about this
When i was on the buses i loved when the spotters took photos of me on my routes. Mainly the 240 Oldmeldrum To Kemnay or 305 Aberdeen to Oldmeldrum. I also got spotted driving away from Perth Races in 2019 on the A94 Coupar Angus to Forfar road
There's hundreds of bus drivers doing it now check Double Decker Anton's videos he has loads of channel links but there's so many more than he has now days it's a great eye opener in to the industry ❤❤
its a thankless Job I drive buses myself looks good on some of these videos but believe me its not all nice like this. It depends where your bus routes are most that are out in the sticks aren't too bad but if your in the towns and housing estates its not good at all. A lot of us face verbal and physical abuse from passengers daily along with unruly rude youths who smoke on the buses and cause trouble.
Don't go telling your managers that they give you an hour but it doesn't take anywhere near that amount of time. They'll suddenly reduce your time and pay you 30 minutes less!
Hello buddy, great videos 😁👌🏼 I work for stagecoach myself and I was just interested in something. We are told we can't even put that we work for stagecoach on any social media, but you are able to make videos? I would love to make videos as people like them. I was wondering is it different rules where you are based? Thanks for your time bud 👍🏻
Why is it most modern ‘service’ buses seem to rattle so much. I’ve driven older tackle that doesn’t rattle as much. Nice to have your friendly regulars though.
Thank you for letting me know, Im very late to finding his channel compared to others but I really liked his videos and the style, nice to see hes still about, thanks again
@@BusDriverFroosh no problem I'm a coach driver in Wakefield now but passed my test through arriva a couple years ago an like you found his channel before I went there so meeting him was great really down to earth fella.. hopefully he does fire up the old UA-cam account an start posting again but highly doubtful if he is even allowed to document things now as he is quite high up in the ranks at arriva so could jeopardize his position. Great to see your channel though you have gained a sub keep up the good work bud :)
You certainly would never pass a test again with youre hand movments and control of the wheel. Youre not ment to hold onto the centre circle Or youre 1 handed driving
If only the company knew you held the wheel like that during most of the footage you'd get collared. It's not safe your hands are supposed to be either side of the wheel incase you need to react quickly to a cyclist / pedestrian walking out infront of you. I know this because i learnt this in training and ended up doing 6 years on double deckers doing round trips around Altrincham. After more experience i used the side and top of the wheel but maybe they don't give a sh*t no more about passenger safety Unless they teach differently now i have no idea
Your so nice to the peoples so kind of you ❤! Half of them in Tamworth of arriva are rude and some like you are nice and kind 15:30 for British people
It’s so cool that your mum also drives buses would be amazing seeing her everyday driving around
My son is 18,obsessed with stagecoach, he just passed his theory tests,starts driver training nxt week,so proud of him,his child hood dream is coming true hopefully, great video.

Best 23 minutes ever just watching you grow in driving is amazing can i see more of this please
Nice to see a friendly bus driver I know it can be stressful my dad was a bus driver he always was friendly to the passengers great video
Very surprised they allowed this, but fair play!
hahaha think ive had u as a driver before.
pricked my ears when you said highworth then recognized stroud!
Ohh nice to see someone from Stagecoach west

Loved this, I currently drive for SC down in the South West. Keep these up it's nice to see what bus driving is like in other areas of the UK!
Thank you so much! Hope all is well down further west!
I was a driver for stagecoach.. hated every second of it. Amazed they let you post this
its not allowed,this guy is going to get a DS 1. Yes terrible company to work for.
Yeah I did think the rules were you can't even post that your work for stagecoach on any social media

Randomly got recommended this video and really enjoyed it!
When you can, I recommend driving the 63, 66 and 69/620. These routes are one of the most scenic imo at Stagecoach West Stroud depot!
66 is ran by Cheltenham Depot due to Stroud not having enough drivers after the Covid pandemic

Personally I don't mind, but I can see why some drivers don't, its all a personal preference but you've just got to respect the driver, thats all

Hello. Can you do a video on the e400 with no timeslapes and no music so it’ll be raw please.
Why is it most modern ‘service’ buses seem to rattle so much. I’ve driven older tackle that doesn’t rattle as much. Nice to have your friendly regulars though.
I honestly wish I knew, its all to do with the suspension which I can bet is a very cheap option, not the most comfortable but I just get on with it

Were you at Edinburgh Bus Station today? I’m a driver too for another company and swear I’ve just seen you

Do u not get freezing driving a bus in winter or does driver compartment have heating too

Is it true bus drivers don't use SAT NAV'S???
Did you get your bus changed??
Shaun (flat cap) works in office at arriva Wakefield now rather than being on the buses. therefore doesn't post day in the life clips anymore :)
Thank you for letting me know, Im very late to finding his channel compared to others but I really liked his videos and the style, nice to see hes still about, thanks again
@@BusDriverFroosh no problem I'm a coach driver in Wakefield now but passed my test through arriva a couple years ago an like you found his channel before I went there so meeting him was great really down to earth fella.. hopefully he does fire up the old UA-cam account an start posting again but highly doubtful if he is even allowed to document things now as he is quite high up in the ranks at arriva so could jeopardize his position. Great to see your channel though you have gained a sub keep up the good work bud :)
You certainly would never pass a test again with youre hand movments and control of the wheel.
Youre not ment to hold onto the centre circle
Or youre 1 handed driving
If only the company knew you held the wheel like that during most of the footage you'd get collared.
It's not safe your hands are supposed to be either side of the wheel incase you need to react quickly to a cyclist / pedestrian walking out infront of you.
I know this because i learnt this in training and ended up doing 6 years on double deckers doing round trips around Altrincham.
After more experience i used the side and top of the wheel but maybe they don't give a sh*t no more about passenger safety
Unless they teach differently now i have no idea
Go Easy Did nine years on london buses before burn out
