On the route side of things, the X41 wears Rosso yellow on the rear part of the bus and has Rosso contact details inside bus is run by Blackburn license and drivers...and now seemingly the Irwell Line is losing it's identity with Burnleys E400s starting to appear on it. I think the 464 will be put on the Blackburn license, the 481/3 will go on the Burnley license as with the Rossendale Rovers and the Rossendale Transport license will go into dormant status. When I was there, Blackburn drivers used to always complain about going on the 464 and it being a too demanding route but were (at the time) paid more...

I used to work for Burnley deport for around 9 years, left at the start of Covid when I moved to Leeds. My partner now works for Harrogate. Finding you videos, and listening to my partner talk about his day is seriously making me miss being out on the road. Love watching your videos, keep up the good work. Also, your hair in most of the videos is fine! Stop worrying lol :p

It was a good crack when I was at Rosso, I used to enjoy doing the 481/483s, my funny moment on 464s was doing it on a Sunday and catching up the bus in front because it was that late...I used to volunteer to do a 6/7 or X41, always used to enjoy Sunday duties because of the split nature of the duty could give you quite some time off in Accrington rather than taking it back to Intack for a break. Luckily, I never learned the 4 in Blackburn so never had to do it, never got the opportunity to drive the 152, same with the 22(5) and 1.

My pet peeve is passengers not having their passes ready when you’re running late 😅

Really Enjoyed this Video. Great having Carly on too. Hope this becomes a regular feature!

Do you think the 464 will be moved to Blackburn? Would it not be better to integrate with your Blackburn colleagues so your one team?

brilliant video! (if this comes of any help to yourself or anyone) in bee network tranche 2, whats supposedly happening is transdev is loosing the rosso business and first will be operating the rosso network, with firsts current operations in oldham being taken over by stagecoach, not too sure on if this is definite but it seems that way, which is happening this month

What is your favourite bus to drive and why?

@johnh10000 2 years ago

Here in North Manchester (Ashton Under Lyne) at junctions/turns we have white background black character signs for buses, with service(s) numbers with an arrow indicating which way that service is to go. Maybe First, have had a lot of lost bus drivers! We are a bit rural round here ;)

I don’t know if you can answer this but In your next one. What is the weirdest thing you have ever seen a passenger do on a bus/in a bus station if you can answer that?

Hello Anthony, Thanks for answering my question, Will there be another episode out soon if there is another one will be glad love these, Have you ever been in a crash while driving a bus and have you got any pictures of it and have you ever had someone press the emergency exit button on the outside to get onto the bus at a junction?

Thanks, Jack

Say this to carley don’t worry I’m always on with Toni and when she pulls out of Blackburn bus station when she go round to the railway station she think she is a car not a bus and 9 odds out of 10 she takes the car route and think she is going home it not just you Carly it’s Toni as well
