That's because I don't mind a bit of hard work, and will always volunteer. You would have also seen me driving 4851 in Wolverhampton at 5am this morning on the first V festival run of the day (0430 from Weston Park) if you were about, so it has been a bit of a long but enjoyable day!

Were there many takers for that one?!! When I last did them with Arriva you were lucky to see anyone before 11!!
A whole day of taking them home usually required a peg on my nose aswell....I was often seen hanging out of the cab window on the M54 with a standing load!!
Yes full load on the 04:30.

No! - probably did about 60 miles looking for them as well
After a days rest it continued its tour looking for ex Dundee Scanias, but getting a last look at 4488 in TWM livery before it went off to Walsall for repaint
Before trying to hide amongst all the other Coventry buses pretending nothing had happened!
Tony when are you going to tell us what your mission was?
On Monday I was using it to ferry staff about to get borrowed buses back home. That is the reason for missing Pensnett, Perry Barr and Bordesley.Those garages hadn't loaned or borrowed any buses for V Festival. On Wednesday I was taking all the Coventry Enviros home, and as the other staff were based at Miller Street I got 4837/41/2 down to Perry Barr for them to be picked up from there.
Sounds like proper logistics to me, breaks the week up I suppose!
