I think HSS^▸ drivers are on around £56k, west drivers are on around £50k.

Blimey. That's a helluva differential between driving jobs.

Nothing compared with what Lewis Hamilton earns... Wink

Ah, but he has to work on Sundays! 😉

Though not very hard today given Ferrari's lacklustre.

Not sure I want him driving my bus or train though.

That does remind me of when, many years ago, I was on the top deck of an Edinburgh bus charging round the big curve on Queensferry Road when I was surprised to hear two stereotypical and somewhat portly Edinburgh matrons clumping their way up the stairs. As the lurched to the front, clutching at seats, one said to the other "who does yon driver think he is, Jackie Stewart?".

That reinforced the impression I had already got that some places' buses were slow and plodding (e.g. Eastern Counties) while others would get a move on if they could (not just Edinburgh). I never did work out if this was a cultural thing or just technical - buses that never see a hill don't need big engines.

More Ferraris than usual needing repair?

B*gg*r.

I thought I was safe here avoiding F1 news before the highlights on Ch4 at 6pm. Roll Eyes

Ho hum. Not really your fault. I blame Bernie for selling rights to Sky and leaving us with fewer free-to-air Grands Prix in the UK^▸ .

First buses around Weymouth have a window sticker advertising for drivers with package up to £19000 and opportunities for overtime.
