Summons to court
The Evil Bus Driver replied to fliss1992's topic in Public transport (Trains, tubes and buses)
Kind of makes me glad that my mobile records all calls. Good luck! -
That's what I've done before. Most of our inspectors are ok if you let them know when they board. But as you know we're not supposed to refuse a child travel. Which company in London are you with btw?

I'm a bus driver in Brighton and we get abuse all the time from passengers, however if this version of events is true then the driver's behaviour was totally unacceptable. We are told down here in a confrontation not to leave our cab. I can't speak for First but our buses also don't have sound on the CCTV, although that will most likely be changing soon. It does sounds like someone with an attitude problem and if he didn't see you get up then saying hold on is a perfectly fair point. The stairs are one of the worst blind spots from the cab as there is very little camera coverage (We have a monitor in the cab) as are the front seats upstairs which are invisible to the driver and the seats directly behind the stairs. Best to make sure your complaint is absolutely accurate and make sure you put your complaint in writing. Make it clear what the next thing will be if you don't get a satisfactory reply, and please note they cannot tell you what the outcome of any disciplinary action was. (It's First Group. I know how much they just love disciplining drivers)

Pay the fine online direct to the council if you can. Then they cannot refuse it. You do not have to deal with the bailiff.

What are you listening to now?
The Evil Bus Driver replied to babybear39's topic in The Bear Garden – for off-topic chat
One of Bruce Dickinson's solo tracks in the period when he had left iron Maiden. A bit of a slow one about the death of the sun. Has Adrian Smith on lead guitar too. -
Yeah maybe. I'm just thinking aloud really (or is it in print?) to see how wide this can be exposed.
-
Because he has a guest column in The Sun and needs the print inches. Either that or as someone posted before, Richard Littlejohn would probably go for something like this. Another idea is the Jeremy Vine show on Radio 2 as he has some good debates.

Safety & overcrowding..
The Evil Bus Driver replied to Consumer dude's topic in Public transport (Trains, tubes and buses)
I did this today. Someone standing upstairs and I wouldn't move the bus til they came down. Unfortunately foreign students are the worst culprits for this as often they just don't respond when you tell them something. -
Hey Crotalus. The Sun sometimes have Jeremy Kyle as a guest columnist. I think he has an email address with them. Perhaps that would be a good one to send the story to?

14 year old welcome finance CCJ now Intrum chasing
The Evil Bus Driver replied to tezza1234's topic in Financial Legal Issues
Don't worry Tezza the court won't order you to pay more than you can afford. Or if they do you can apply for a variation order. Best sit tight and see what comes through and go from there. -
This is the sort of thing that probably sits in their office churning out threats. It makes them happy. [ATTACH=CONFIG]46083[/ATTACH]

This is First Group we are talking about, a company that I would much rather did not exist at all. I work in the bus industry and know what they are like. Let them go jump off a cliff.
-
Was it a debit or credit card? Maybe you should have a word with your bank about a chargeback for the excess amount.
-
Incidentally do you have a bolt on the door? That should deal with any locksmith as they can't get through dead bolts.

The Evil Bus Driver replied to Consumer dude's topic in Public transport (Trains, tubes and buses)
Damn right. One of our drivers posted the following conversation on the mighty fb today: "Excuse me that baby has been crying for 20 minutes or so. Can you not ask the mum to get off?" "Excuse me?" "The baby. It's crying" "Yeah?" "Can't you ask them to get off. For the comfort of the other passengers?" "No. I'm not gonna ask a woman to get off with her baby. Because its crying. It's a baby. They cry" "We'll, what am I supposed to do?" "It's a nice day. Walk" Who do you work for btw? -

The Evil Bus Driver replied to Consumer dude's topic in Public transport (Trains, tubes and buses)
To be fair dude i always refuse to move the bus if people are standing on the stairs but it is one of the more difficult things to police as (on our buses anyway) you really can't see the stairs. We ought to have a camera there or something. -
Sounds like a Form 4 complaint if ever I heard one. Sorry to hear about your experience at the hands of these idiots. I suppose if you stood near their house you'd see lines where their knuckles had dragged along the ground.

MBNA credit card - Lowells/Red/Hamptons - so scared
The Evil Bus Driver replied to posh64's topic in MBNA
Yeah. This is what they use to print them. The Threat-O-Matic 1000. [ATTACH=CONFIG]40188[/ATTACH] -
Incidentally have you got a dead bolt on your front door? Might come in handy.
-
Terrible situation. Perhaps one of [EDIT]these would be useful?
-
What would be useful in general would be a list of councils that the likes of Crapita have got their meathooks into.
-
I think Trainline spend all the money on stupid adverts at Marylebone.
-
Ah yes but I'm sure the mafia haven't superglued the throttle open...

why - bear garden?
The Evil Bus Driver replied to deano_uk's topic in The Bear Garden – for off-topic chat
Blimey you learn something new every day. -
Mix it with Fosters and add a shot of blackcurrant cordial. Looks horrific but tastes sooo good.
