So yesterday I "Passed Out" in my new career as a bus driver. After 4 weeks to get the qualification and a further 4 weeks learning the ropes and routes with a mentor on board, today I head out solo for the first time. It's been a wild, fun trip and I have a lot of gratitude for the experience and opportunity. If I could liken it to a videogame, it would be a baffling alternative lifestyle and industry simulation with a mini game driving a variety of vehicles around obstacles on a GTA style map.

Try not to pass out again, though. It probably won't help your career.

Is it not like Bus Simulator 21 though?

Well done Trafford, that's not something I think I could do. Those buses are so dammed big.

Also you now have your CPC and your c1 I assume? That gives you lots of options down the line for higher paid jobs should you want to change.

Thanks guys, that means a lot. I did consider buying Bus Simulator 21 a month back but figured I'd save my cash. On reflection I've had some troubles this last decade but have a 30 year old clean driving licence. Prior to this I hadn't driven for 18 months so I was shitting myself at first, but it was just fear and there to be overcome.
@frog, yeah it's the full PCV license which I believe could move to Cat1 quite easily. Or there's sideways in to coachwork ( hot euro action!!?!) After 25 years as an office based salesman it's great to be out on the road.
But bus scene is great for now though, some of the vehicles are a dream to drive, double deckers especially. Others like the mini/midi buses are a bit wild with bouncy suspension, loud cabin noise and controls that look like a demented Fisher Price toy.

Good on you. I worked at Jarvis Rail years ago and got on quite well with the lass who sold sandwiches. She left unexpectedly and next time I saw her she was driving the bus I stepped onto. It was surreal, but she was loving it

Does this mean user Trafford is going to have a lot of bawdy slap and tickle, while running after a filly in a sped up motion?

Can you confirm if you also have a sexpest of a conductor too, user Trafford?

Not exactly, but the station does service a large university campus.
Automation means there's no longer ticket inspectors, but there's certainly inspectors who operate like trouble shooters on the network. And fwiw I've started seeing someone new who is very aroused by the whole thing 😃

Had an idea for a film called Robochrist, the tagline is “when Armageddon came, the lord didn’t send a saviour. We had to build one”. Who do I sell this treatment to?

I like the broad strokes, but let's nail down the fine points.
Apocalypse is good, always sells tickets, but instead of that how about the merciless world of advertising.
I like Jesus, we all like Jesus, he's a cool guy, but how about a single mom struggling in the big city, I'm thinking Melissa McCarthy, we all like Melissa McCarthy. And she doesn't get built into a mecha but overcomes her boss with sassy guile, I'm thinking Stanley Tucci, we all like the Tucc.
