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.

So I should do what?

Good week this week. All 'country' work out to Cribbs and Frome, the pretty way. Car and the bike passed their mot so well pleased all round. Strange one today, one of the things we have drummed in to us is not to run early. the company has in fact been fined for this and the penalty for leaving a timing point before time is loss of job. I was 'waiting my time' on a stop today when a lady starting shouting at me. She suggested that I was in the way and that I should move as she could not get to her bus and that she would report me for blacking the stop up! So the next time I approach a stop and see the lady waiting I will drive past. When she complains I will say that I did not want to block the stop. I don't think the company would see it that way.

Same company, different location -
We have timing points where it would be impossible and dangerous to wait for longer than it takes to load the bus!!
