Tea? (Part 4)

Not highly enough that they will pay a fair wage though &....

If David Camera On Thatcher does what is feared with bus passes/free travel, then there will be an over supply of drivers & other linked staff.

What are his plans?
Are these the passes OAP's get?

Agree about the wages.

If our pax lost the free pass it would hurt them but we would still be their lifeline from the villages to town, they'd just have to pay!

Some tendered routes might be culled though, depending on your Local Authority, meaning too many drivers for not enough work & also too many Inspectors/Allocators etc.

Oh dear.suffering from wind are TD?

Thought damp and windy were your middle names Mrs D

I think my first coach job is on Sunday, rail replacement here I come. Banbury standby I think.

What replacement services are those for?

 

[stephec]

Yes.

Take off the old chain and line the new one up with it to get the length right.

If you're not sure what you're doing with the chain tool split the old one and join it until you've got the hang of it, it's easy.

Just back from a damp 17.5 miles.
I am shattered!

Glad that's miles & not minutes

Nobody knows TD ?

He & his party steadfastly refused to discuss it in the run up to the election.

Edit.

Yes OAP passes/permits & disability passes/permits could also be more stringently means tested too, all just rumour at the moment.

He better keep his hands off them. Another 4 years and I can get one. Mind you, don't know when I was last in a bus, but it would still be nice to have.

All our "local" councillours wouldn't be caught dead on a train. Not even for a photo opportunity. They all drive everywhere.

Don't push the rivet/pin out the full way either. Leave some of it it place, so that it still holds the two ends of the chain in one piece. A little sideways pressure should be applied to get the two ends apart. Also easier when rejoining the chain.

Hopefully, it will have the joining link if it's a KMC chain which I think it might be? @ScotiaLass
