Anyone reckon he washed his hands before touching the steering wheel? Vile individual.

Anyone reckon he washed his hands before touching the steering wheel? Vile individual. Sadly bus/tube/train cabs and the like are very manky places as it is. Plenty of drivers don't wash hands after toilet (I've witnessed people coming out of toilet cubicles then proceed with their work without washing hands), also anyone with a cold etc can leave germs around the cab from being in it for so long. It was even mentioned on 'Big Red Bus' about ten years ago that finding Lucozade bottles in the cab was generally a driver who couldn't hang on any longer..... Plus the story I read on this forum about a driver who blocked a CCTV camera to put STD cream on themselves in the cab...... It's all immensely depressing. Sadly the passenger seats are filthy too, there are a lot of people out there with low/no standards. I certainly don't eat on public transport any more, and when returning home after a journey I wash my hands straight away. Some very manky people out there who have touched the seats/handrails/bell pushes. Sadly you have to plough on with it, if you thought too much into everything most people wouldn't even leave the house........ Like I say - depressing. |

Ahh, now I know why the 123 sees lots of 2nd generation DW's at weekends - they have 'Cummins' engines lol.

When I get in the cab, anything I have to touch is wiped with an anti bacterial wipe, steering wheels are the worst;  |

I tried doing that once and almost lost the will to live after the seventh wipe came out as black as the first. I gave up at that point. I should go back to wearing gloves when driving really.

I hope you're referring to you wiping down the steering wheel and not the other thing the driver got caught for LOL |

When I get in the cab, anything I have to touch is wiped with an anti bacterial wipe, steering wheels are the worst; Is that just off the steering wheel? That is some build up....one night, I got a bit too merry out and about and ended up waking up in PD garage (fortunately this has happened before so I knew how to get to the gate to get out) - but one thing I did spot was the amount of seats which had newspaper on them. This is a tube train thing too, particularly in the summer (where it's common for the seat to be wringing wet with the previous persons sweat)....... I recall one 93 driver when I lived that way, he used to carry round one of the old school beaded seat covers for this purpose, I've seen the thin gore tex covers used too. |

Just from one steering wheel!
I also put a towel on the drivers seat, because, not long after I started driving buses, I had a huge boil come up in my nether region. Had to go to A+E to have it lanced and the doctor told me it was because of the drivers seats.

Had to go to A+E to have it lanced and the doctor told me it was because of the drivers seats. No    Yes, it was indeed the drivers seats I was referring to with the newspaper.....read the post back and realised I had just put 'seats'. The thing about A&E really startled me though. I remember one celebrated incident where a few of us went in my mate's RML to Showbus, and someone in the party decided to relieve themselves into an Apple Tango bottle on the M11 while on the rear platform (yes, I know). After this he put the filled bottle in the rubbish sack we had, and it was only when we got back to the yard it transpired the bottle was still on board - of course my mate was cross and said to the other chap to get rid of it. Thing is, I was sat near the rubbish bag and was certain I had put my hands in it putting bits of rubbish away - I woke up the next day with ulcers round my mouth and feeling unwell  I'm glad of this thread though, as it's nice to know it's not just me that worries about this sort of thing Going back to the original jist of the thread, it's not unheard of to have unsavoury things happen before on the buses (two examples).... www.thetottenhamindependent.co.uk/news/11186990.display/www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/homeless-man-sentenced-to-hard-time-for-masturbating-on-bus-six-times/ |
