Coach Driving with James Ep.2 - Westbury to Steeple Ashton 

ZF is very smooth in these 👌

Hello great video I have just passed my theory test doing my bus test after Christmas. Can not wait to be a coach driver Happy new year Jacko

Thanks for a great video. Soon to start my lessons and exam to become a driver. Really looking forward to starting a new career. Seems there are alot of good people in the industry.

Nice little positioning trip with some varied obstacles. Interesting to hear what you’re thinking as you go along is similar to what I’m thinking! Good camera angle too (even if it decided to move).

Hi James came across your series of videos (from Australia) and been watching them. Very informative, like the way you narrate your journey, just recently acquired my heavy vehicle license, interesting to watch your driving style and the routes you are on nice to have country-city makes it more pleasurable but some of those lanes are really narrow! Great skill. How long have you been driving coaches and what sort of camera do you use to record your trips. Cheers MrChris.

To be honest, j don't like zf automatic gearboxes , I'm a bus driver in London , and most of them are fitted with zf transmission, well far enough, for city buses are ok, but i think of you enjoy shifting gears , feeling the engine asking you for more gears and get the control on it, definitely manual transmision are entertaining, well its my personal opinion,.....

Hello sir. What sat nav do you use???? Cheers

Why do the tourismos or any uk mercedes bus have the push button gears zf where as in europe they have the standard mercedes gearbox and shifter

Why do you go to such lengths to documents your shortcomings as a professional driver? Is is the thought of adulation from wannabee coach drivers? Are you dumb enough to think a 25 yard swim males you a lifeguard Is it the hope of Advertising income here? Answer me 1 Question 9.35 in video When approaching a blind bend where the road appears to narrow. Who is more important? The coach with 50+ people in it or the articulated truck driver? you say "sometimes I am lucky" there is no truck. I warn you to be very careful with your answer. Retired advanced level Instructor on bikes, cars, bus/coach, trucks, trucks and trailers of all kinds, as well as maintaining all said vehicles (call me a grease monkey, till you breakdown) specialist "accident" investigator and expert court witness. Your employer entrusts you with 50+ lives. That is for their conscience and their Insureres. West Country trip...shame if the truck is carrying livestock from a market as bought and cleared from stalls. Heavy top, light lower deck. Milk tanker, only 1 baffle plate in a 33,000Ltr tank to stop a part load surging forwards and causing a jack-knife (do the physics yourself). Navy turbines need descaling acid to keep the ships running (it can dissolve solid concrete and steel as well as human bodies) Furl tanker, do the markers mean petrol or diesel when you are in panic after a collision? Please now answer me. Who has the priority? WHO SHOULD RELY ON LUCK RATHER THAN JUDGEMENT WHEN LIVES ARE INVOLVED?
