I've got an interview with Stagecoach tomorrow for a trainee bus driving role. Spent all my working life in manufacturing / warehousing and always fancied bus driving. Really see it as something I could work at for the rest of my working life. What do you think of them as a company ? And would you recommend the job as a whole?
@MancbusesКүн бұрын
Hello, Stagecoach is a strange company and it really does depend on the location and managers at the depot, My main time there it was good apart from the passengers sometimes. But it really does depend on the area that you are going to work for, Manchester it is mainly students then as you go into the slums of manchester you get more idiots but still really not many. even on the night buses never felt like I was in danger. Just stick to the rules and you be fine ask before bending them. The job as a whole thou is good where I am now it is super easy and it pretty much is just driving there no fares etc to worry with. But Ive said it many times the job is what you make it and how hard it is depends on you. Most days ill go for the easy option show me a sweet wrapper and you was good. Then other days/trips i would decide to check tickets and pull those that didn't have the correct or valid ticket (did this mainly when I was in a Bad Mood). Hope this helps Jordan

The driver was in the right. The passenger has a Nottingham travel pass, not a Greater Manchester one. He can only use the pass between 9:30am to 11:00pm on Monday to Friday and anytime on Saturday and Sunday when outside of the county. The passenger was making a right nuisance of himself

I've been watcching your videos for a while now I am sorry to see you're having problems with your bus again. I hope it can be sorted. It would be very unfortunate if it becomes the worst case scenario as I'm pretty sure you're the only person in the UK who has preserved one of these Dennis Dart's. They used to be the regular fleet of buses used on my local bus service in Doncaster years ago so it's nice to see you kept one going.

How come in the first scenario the driver didnt get the buzz from the AWS for the red light? But i guess still too late to stop then
@MancbusesАй бұрын
Had to watch this to reply lol. The AWS only shows to settings and can not tell the difference between the Yellow and Red. So its saying the Driver forgot about the Yellow at the station and got upto line speed by the time the next AWS warning goes off at that point the driver would be alerted to the RED aspect and because he is line speed and not going at caution expecting the next signal to be RED, It would be a SPAD risk but not a SPAD as such as it could stop in time but it be a risky stop.
