Peter In this almost cashless society it would not matter which value the notes were. You would have problems spending them Lol. I hope you enjoy your holiday.

[@BristolRE]

Loooooooooool, Thanks

[@TheTransportHub17]

Nice video Peter. Nice and quiet on a Sunday late at night.

[@BristolRE]

Thanks, as always!

[@Emanuel-sx5wv]

Great video mate! Enjoy your holiday when it comes, you deserve a break

[@BristolRE]

Thank You

[@busenthusiastwellington3660]

Great video

[@BristolRE]

Thank You

[@TrainBoy-tf9gh]

Nice video Peter, driving during late hours is better. Less traffic and less people about.

[@BristolRE]

Thanks, and yes, lates are best!

[@mohibj]

If I did the job the reason I'd only do hardline lates is because I wouldn't wanna drive a school bus or an office bus, but instead a party bus, only taking people beyond those places to parties🎉

[@BristolRE]

@@mohibj Lol. The reason I do lates is that once you go back after your break there is little traffic and not too many passengers.

[@mohibj]

​@@BristolREmy other reason would be because I like taking over instead of getting taken over

[@fernlew8828]

to make an announcement you press the speaker button then speak directly into the microphone and 'announcement in progress' will be shown on the ibus

[@BristolRE]

Correct

[@TheCaterhamBusGuys]

I'm sure one day you will find a suitcase full of money!

[@BristolRE]

We can only dream, Lol

[@TransporterTony]

Hello! Love the video.

[@BristolRE]

Thanks

I always get on your bus on a Thursday evening! But shy to say hello!

[@BristolRE]

Aw, I'm probably looking away anyhow

[@dom_dom2011]

@@BristolRE yes you do!! I get on at Barnet with my wife and son around 6pm on a Thursday. I do say thank you!

Or a Greggs paper bag full of money 😅

Lol

[@walthamwalker]

Its a lovely bus - no passengers

[@BristolRE]

Indeed!

[@GuyArab]

I always enjoy this type of video, but I have a couple of questions that you will probably have answered before, but my memory needs refreshing. When you had your hour’s break, where was that taken and did the bus stay with you? Finally, what’s the difference between running numbers 49 and 41 and do you have to display each one?

[@BristolRE]

In the case of this shift the bus was handed over mid journey to another driver, as shown by the time highlighted in red. Running numbers are not normally displayed these days, but they refer to each bus. So running number 41 started the day very early and has been up and down the route until I take over at 2125 as highlighted in green

[@simonmanton3454]

Nice bit of snow is what you need

[@BristolRE]

Lol, no chance

[@simonmanton3454]

@BristolRE but you love snow. You hate fhe sun 🌞

[@BristolRE]

@@simonmanton3454 Not at all. Hate driving in the snow. Love sun with nice blue skies, it's obscene heat I hate. Up to 20c is fine

[@TawheedRahmanBengali]

Nice video keep it up

[@BristolRE]

Thanks

[@TawheedRahmanBengali]

@@BristolRE you are welcome

[@mohibj]

Now this looks more like a late shift. In my opinion, 2:30-4:30 starts should be classified middles and not lates. I call them 'so-called lates' 😂

[@BristolRE]

Lol, late middles would finish by 2200. Proper lates start after 1500 and finish 2300-0200. After that you're talking night shifts rather than lates

[@mohibj]

Yes, I suppose I'm inbetween lates and nights, a bit like UX. I've heard people refer to their lates as nights because of the obvious. Have you ever come across a day service with a 4 way rota split to include nights?

[@kallyahmed.5182]

Peter Enfield has retained the 192

[@BristolRE]

Thanks, yes heard that a couple of days ago. It might have to be moved to Edmonton garage to free up space for the charging units when the 279 gets ES's

[@josephevans9917]

That the main thing the bus is OK

[@NextSound170]

Not done a night london route since we moved from Edmonton, first time in 35 years i’ve lived elsewhere. What is lates like now?

[@BristolRE]

Very quiet
