Proper job. When you get over there you will love it. I’ve been driving coaches through Europe for 2 years and its so much nicer over there.
Please remember if you come off the boat or train at Calais and there is a coach behind you please make space when safe to do so. Some of us have seriously tight runs to do and we need every minute do do them. My run down last week was 20.55 hours duty (double manned)!!
[zb] that.
Tell your traffic office not to plan such tight runs.
It’s the drivers that keep doing the ■■■■ poorly planned runs that [zb] it up for the others.
No excuse for it these days…
You do realise that the European land mass is very large, and people want to get to their destinations?
I can see him striding into the office and demanding they change his destination to somewhere that suits him rather that the 50-odd people sitting behind him.
You do realise that most long-haul coach routes have been in place for many, many years and are proven to work?
Did you read the bit where he says it’s so much nicer, it sounds like he enjoys it. Why do you feel the need to be indignant on his behalf?

Funnily enough, having coaches over most of Europe…I am well aware of the routes and the often ridiculous expectations of operators that rely on drivers breaking the law to ensure that the job gets done!
Also having worked in the traffic office of an international coach operator I know hiw it doesn’t have to be that way!

So if you know all about it, you must know that he’s not going to be able to change anything.
