There are a few drivers that do this and ruin it for their colleagues with selfish behaviour. Yes it is nice at times to get a docket, but when you get some docket hunters that would do anything day in and out to delay the service in this way. It is simply not on. They are the type of driver that would finish late on a Sunday night when there is nothing out there on the road, but they would still come off 10+ minutes late. Yes I had this last sunday night on the 341, I was finishing near 1 am and yet I caught up and overtook my leader before Highbury Corner Since I have been at Arriva I have only put in 3 dockets and they were all for more than 20 minutes due to heavy traffic, 2 on the 73s and 1 on the 341s. Other than that I just don't mess around I have no time for dockets. Your throwing money away. used to think like that many years ago. I wouldn't make myself purposely come off late. But anything 5 mins and over is worth putting in. If your late for work, anything 5 minutes and over they would deduct it from your wages.

Yea I know, I was told this by my GS at Stamford Hill about the 5 minutes and over but I don't drive to purposefully be late. I rather be on time and if I do end up 5 or more late then I'll put a docket in but other times I have come off late has been less than 5 minutes. Also I never turn up late to work as even though I am coming from archway I always leave out an hour early in the early morning 40 minutes early as I know the roads are very quiet and takes me less than 10 minutes to drive to Gladesmore Road where I park.

What does the number plate "E8 NJB" mean? E8 NJB commemorates Natasha Blake, a much-loved member of staff in the Ash Grove team who sadly passed away in 2011, E8 stands for Ash Grove and NJB for Natasha's initials.

Whilst driving the 341 in Higbury the other day I saw a skoda superb with the reg 1 NJB not sure if this is related.

Are DAS 1 and DAS 2 spares now they have all the new E200s? or are they allocated on paper to any routes.
Thanks

Thanks DAS1 is sort of allocated to the 385, but it can use anything they have available in practice. There was even a Solo they often used for the route when already at AW, and now that W12 is finally there we could see more of OS workings again I suppose

DAS1 was poorly in the garage last week as a W19 E20D was on the route instead. Have to say DAS1 is not in the best of shape - it leans at the most alarming angle.

Guys and Gals, Unexpected Surprise for myself but from Monday, I am back on buses with this baby company (well compared to others). It feels pretty weird as I'd never thought I would of joined buses ever again after Stagecoach (T) in January 2015. My initial plan was to join Arriva but it just worked out better to start with CT Plus. I am well excited

If your at HK you will probably meet two of my friends Donald and Micheal.

I am well excited Just as I might see Lwldriver on an Abellio bus, I might see you on a CT Plus bus on November 25th! I am due to ride route 26 or 388 (more likely the latter) and route 394 then.
