Vosa Catercorisation of Defects

Vosa's Catercorisation of Defects is now available to all online as a free pdf. It lists all the immediate prohibition defects, delayed prohibitions and inspection notices. All prohibitions are reported to the traffic commisioner and an operator can loose their liscence if they are deamed to be compromising road safety. Drivers can also be prosected for driving buses with known defects. So its in everybodies best interest to keep crap buses off the roads of East London.

The book is coming on nicely and I've been in touch with a few publishers who seem very interested. So watch this space....

East London Bus driver, The Book

Due to requests from friends I am currently working on a ebook. East London Bus Driver, which will be about my struggles working on London's buses from the 80's through privitisation to the present day. It will include all my funny stories on the road and my dealings with the people running the show like the operators, TFL, the unions and VOSA. It will tell the real storyof how the job has changed over this time. I will put a link post to this blog when published.
