Play time!🤪 Seen enough clips all week of buses being driven, but watching isn’t as fun as playing! 🥇🎮 Some 28/29s for a leg stretch then decided the 9 hour spread wasn’t quite enough for my appetite so made it a 13.5hr one with some 25s🤩 #富豪大法好 #MMC大法好

Took a while but finally got my hands on one of these Volvo E400s. 😍 Fancied seeing what little pieces of mileage I could mop up after work so a 49 with a wild card bus allocation will do.🃏

It’s play time again🤪 Another week in paradise wrapped up with a mega OT day doing duty + yard work, with some Monday head start stuff in between. 🎉🏁 468 is becoming a bit of a theme now! That’s 3 29s on the trot I’ve had it! Not the most exciting to drive but does the job🐢

7 days in and stretching boundaries. 🌱 Getting more confident and comfortable with uncomfortable conversations, and another new route unlocked!🔓 ‘Only’ took a year and 5 months to finally do 46 for the first time and I went solo for a full evening of it!🎉

Hmmm… that didn’t go to plan🥀 First bus conked out as I was leaving the stop. It was freezing on there anyway so at least I didn’t have to put up with it all night🥶 Next bus was much better (and warmer)… but now I’ll be the one whose clips are being watched. 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

Day 13/13♠️ So far the least eventful day work wise. 😮‍💨 On the plus side, a nice splash of colours to close the week with.

It was nice while it lasted, loved this box of toys even more but time has come to give it back. 🥲 Definitely see myself applying when one comes up!😍 Next stop: back to school (again!)📚🪪

Play day🤪🎮 Not the purple route for a change!🫨 Getting OT out of Newhaven has been a bit like finding gold dust lately, so it’d be a bit rude not to since they phoned to ask nicely!📞🤩

📚Back to school week🤯 Been a while since I did any significant amount of studying for exams! 🎓 Never had a pencil case this well equipped before too! (Took notes on an iPad last time round)🤣 Brain is a bit fried rn so time for a brain out day!🤪🚌💨

Technically… playing OMSI is working from home?🤪🤔 7 gruelling course days later, feel like getting the laptop out for a rest night.🎮 Conveniently found a spot where I can hide to study for the rest of the week before finishing today too.📚🤓

😎Living my best life, complete with deck chairs and ice creams!🏖️🍦 Bit of impromptu OT playing emergency run-in controller while some site engineering works popped up👷🏻‍♂️🕹️

Oh dear… Somehow misread an entire question on a timed attempt… thankfully this was just practice! RTFQ - Read the FULL question!🙈🧐 The familiar feeling of 1 step forward and 2 steps back again😓 That’s enough reading today!🎮😴

Bye for now desk… see you in a couple of weeks. Been a bit quiet lately while I was busy tagging along with the health & safety elves wandering around every depot. 👷‍♂️ Another new experience for this week’s play day 🔓- finally got to experience a ‘900’ on the 28. 😍

Think my Streetdeck obsession is due a renewal! Brilliant day out at South East Bus Festival, highlight being the ride on the Ensignbus Streetdeck😍! Also got to hear an informative talk by BusAndTrainUser on customer experience. Distraction over, back to studying!💪📚

Well… that was an intense day!😰 Tonight shall be a bus free evening.🙈 But first… some totally random Photos de bus obligatoires!🎮

Arrrgh! Temption was too great to resist!😂 Must jump on the bandwagon!🤪🐑

The OMSI work bench - Gathering dust since the real deal was unlocked!😬🥺 Took a while to do the seemingly never ending Coaster! Always finding creases to iron out! Bit more spit and polish on the Coaster last night, looking and feeling a bit more like a real one.

Got my first taste of a Leyland today!🤩 A fun day shunting around old buses with friends, getting my first taste of a Leyland Lynx and a Dennis Lance! Would love a go on the road one day!🤤 Really needed a wash afterwards though being covered in dirt, hay, dust and mould🛀

Don’t think I fully realised how much I needed the rest until I had the week off!😮‍💨😴 Latest assignment involves 80% running around at 200mph… again! Number crunching and lots of familiarisation!🪽 Got my 20% uplift this week though, hard work for that exam paid off!🎉

I couldn’t be in 2 places at once, still didn’t stop me trying! A great day out at Eastbourne Carnival wheel walking the open top bus I drove through it last year! Then teleported back to Lewes Road to see the end of an era as the Scania Omnidekka ran its last service for B&H!
