Best thing
4 day weeks, left to it most of the time don’t have goals which you need to complete.
Worst thing
Short breaks, many busses get cut due to late running not enough time to get around, roadworks not taken into consideration. Can be very repetitive if on the same route all day.

Best thing about stagecoach I would say personally is the other people, a lot of these drivers have amazing senses of humour that make your shift go a little faster, and also there is so much support all around you whenever needed

Best thing
Colleagues, we are in such a difficult position constantly in terms of lack of services running, job uncertainty that we have grown stronger as a family and look after one another it's the only thing that makes it worth feeling good about coming to work.
Worst thing
Short on drivers, short on vehicles, uncertainty wether we are going to have another one of our depots closed, a new managing director that masnt made any major steps yet, lack of respect from immediate management, supervisors who refuse to speak to one another so everything ends up to the dogs, lack of sympathy or understanding from public and passengers, right timing chasing constant late running and services being dropped

Worst thing
The roads In the UK are not maintained properly and many road users are unsafe to drive alongside
Every day I anticipate being a victim or involved in a road incident. The fleet vehicles generally are of a poor quality to drive. The technology included in the vehicles is dated and customers typically struggle to purchase tickets electronically which is humiliating for them and for the drivers to resolve. Most of my colleagues are grossly misogynistic, racist and ableist and nobody is challenged or disciplined for the remarks and behaviour they proudly use. There is very little time at each route terminus to collect oneself and one often feels stressed at the unreasonable timetable that drivers are expected to keep up with. The company fails to keep the public updated and informed by social media so the drivers are often criticised for delays and management's decisions over buses going out of service or not operating at all. The company actively rainbow washes its buses and doesn't actively support the lgbtqi+ community. The company actively greenwashes it's buses without any incentive to actuallyStagecoach PCV driver, April 2023

Worst thing
Grief from customers. Not enough drivers. Roadworks causing delays. Cancelled buses in front of your bus so there’s a big gap for people waiting.

Best thing
Staff and managers are second to none, the majority of the busses are alright (meaning warm, comfortable, nippy). The depot feels like home when you get to know people.
Worst thing
Being outside of the depot, the majority of passengers are point blank rude and disrespectful, we are told to just get on with it as we are just ‘bus drivers’ not inspectors. Other road users see a large vehicle and think ‘oh let’s pull infront of him and if he reacts in any way I’ll get out of my car and humiliate him’. Yes the worst thing about driving a passenger oriented vehicle are the passengers themselves, as well as the general public and other road users. Rude, ignorant, disrespectful, self centred the list could go on…

Long hours, only get paid driving hours not sign on to sign off, no family time at all. You have to work all type of weather with or with out Heating and A/C.
