We bus driver's are so stressed due to the high demand on us to go in & out no 5 minutes stand no toilets no proper recovery time then we have to do long shifts in a row like 7 day's on is very tiring and when we get 2 days off we are shattered our family lives get ruined don't get to see our children etc we need changes due to the stressful life we do the running time on these routes are impossible to do they reduced the speed limit to 20mph and didn't even change the schedules which makes it harder for us to run a good bus service for the public

I had to give up bus driving because of the issues raised. It got to the stage where it was affecting my mental health. Some days getting up at 02.30,some nights getting in at 02.30. What work life balance? That's just the tip of the iceberg....

Bus drivers are carrying our lives and I support this move as a bereaving father of my daughter and the young driver who has hit her. I stand with the drivers here to stand against bus collusions!
