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.

First day at school

As you know I am, for the next few weeks working out of the Hengrove Depot driving 904 Park and Rides.It was a pretty good day but did feel like the first day at school, or at the very least in a new job. It was interesting to see how things can be the same but so different. The ticket machines are different and the layout of the duties are slightly different. The vehicles are also equipped with radio's.Apart from accidentally pressing the button I did not use it. However, there was an all vehicle broadcast informing us of a road closure. Back in Bath drivers would have been left to find out for themselves with all the problems that causes. Anyway looking forward to the next few week with a fixed duty 0715 - 1515.
