@WillTrains125 it's definitely in the pipeline!

Awesome

Well hello

Its a massive rough patch at the moment, espeically with the more recent horror the other day involving one of our vehicles with the fire, but honestly it comes down to the average age of the fleet, yes we have acquired new Solo SR's but the rest of the fleet has an average age of nearly 15 years old. A refresh of fleet is needed but isnt going to happen anytime soon

The 59X and 166 both pry off to different places, 166 being a school bus for students primarily up to TK and the 59X being the college focus bus

Interesting, though the bus which blew was one of Stroud's newest (a 63-plate). I wonder if it's issue with the batch, as 37010 caught fire a few years ago (37012 being Tuesday's victim). They seem to break down a lot, too. On those bus routes - it seems more logical to just have the 59X (and 66) coming down as I didn't think TK students lived as far out as Painswick and Co (though I'd gladly be corrected). The students going to the various Stroud schools may fill the 59X, but then get off before most of the college students get on. Yes, I think about bus company logistics far too often.

And unironically I feature in the video filming the college buses leaving AND it uploaded today, meaning your video and my video were recorded same time and uploaded same time with each of us featuring in the other one!

Also request for full route with a trident please , I really love them .😂

Unfortunatley the C62 is one of the routes that runs into the college in the morning, then doesnt make the return trip until later in the evening

​I'm just wandering if allowed to ride it would it be more logical to do it in summer with extended suntime ?​@@BusDriverFroosh

I myself heard the pay is quite good but long hours

@@drakesgi6190 never drove it last year boss, we weren't driving it, we took over in January

@ I’ll rephrase last academic year “boss”

@drakesgi6190 if you have any genuine feedback about me mate, let me know, I'm always open to what I did wrong

@ you in particular were always late, none of the drivers from the Swindon branch before Stroud took over nor the other drivers from Stroud were ever late

@ missed work a good couple times due to your tardiness

Only really have 70+ on ours during the school rush so somewhat frequently. but with these rural routes, 5 is a packed out bus!!

Hello sorry to ask a personal question but what sort of money do you come away with each week after tax Ive currently applied for a job with stagecoach myself and on avg how many hours per week thank you

@Busspotterryleigh 1. I have indeed 2. The new optares were designed with Cirencester as the main priority but can be used on other routes if required 3. If nothing else is available optares can be taken but it's recommended not to take them

@@holdingpointaviation all new buses need them as a design requirement from now on

@@eivom1 not a stupid question at all, our fleet of buses utilities really big demister motors, which to be honest aren't the most reliable at times but they get the job done eventually

@@BusDriverFroosh thanks for the answer and the video!
