Despite working for First for nearly seven years there are some routes I have never driven or only driven a couple of times. This week I have driven the '18' service to Bath Uni. This route uses the famous 'bendy bus'. I am not 'bendy' trained so I was given a normal (rigid) bus. I do know the route as I use it to get to the repeater site, but I was still a little nervous as I set off. The duty went OK and despite some very weird students completed it without incident.
Last I had the 179/178 This goes to Midsomer Norton Via Timsbury. I cannot remeber the last time I drove this route and then to told not to forget to go through Farrington Gurney, I was more than a little nervous. The rain did not help and the first two passenger producing £20 notes for £4.15 fares put me a good mood! However with the help of a passenger we made it round OK. Finally finished back at the depot at 0045.

Please describe the VERY weird students - was it their hair, dress, body piercings, barefoot? Is it me, but with student clothes is it one size fits all - that is everyone badly? Do your male students nearly loose their trousers when boarding?
