Hello and welcome to my Blog, my name is Chris, a bus driver for First Mendip based in Wells, Somerset. I am Chair and H&S rep for the depot branch of Unite the Union. Married to Fiona, we live in Midsomer Norton near Bath, with Boots the cat. My main hobby is Amateur Radio and I hold the call sign G4KVI. I am the repeater keeper for GB3UB and MB7UB. I have a fascination for the weather and all things to do with nature and science. As a Christian I worship, when shifts allow at St. Nicholas Church in Radstock. These are my observations on my life, both at work and at home.

Lots of trouble

had a very funny day Friday. Had lots of shift changes this week so Friday had a day round Bath on local buses.
First problem was a lady who did not the rules of the road and wanted me to reverse a bus back along a road (this is not legal) things came to a head and the police where called. However with the help of some other motorists we managed to resolve it.
The next was a breakdown, just got to the furthest point from the town when every alarm bell light went off. Made it to the next stop. Checked the engine and what was left of the fan belt was on the ground. A call to the engineers brought a swift response and found the pulley has ceased and taken the belt with it. Off we went again and due to the large volume of traffic in Bath that was it for the day!!!
