X factor For Bus Drivers !Help a fellow forumite!

Jheych

Wasps - feel my wrath!
Ello folks

Just a note really regarding good lady and her current occupation which she is blindingly good at might I add !

Seems to be a regional Arriva competition thingy going where members of the local public ( that's you that is !) are invited to nominate and vote for someone who is basically good at their job , which of course she is .

Now I know some of you have had the joyful experience of travelling with her through Staffordshire's hills and dales so you will know how good she is at her job .

Others of you may not "YET"

It is likely that you or yours will one day , car breaks down, need to use public transport for whatever reason and you too will see what a joy it is to be her passenger .Unless of course you dont live in Staffs in which case ..well dunno

I'm plugging this because the brains at arriva dont actually give their staff ID badges and unless you ask the driver who they are you wont have a clue . so it's nearly impossible to be nominated or voted unless you happen to be related( which I am ) or that you have travelled with them for the last 10 yrs or something .. Hence this plug !

Now before anyone gives it the big one about the "service" this is not what your voting for . so this has nothing to do with delays or equipment and the like . This is to do with the public face of the company and how they make their passengers feel on their journeys etc .

What have you got to do to help a fellow forumite ?

Easy peasy lemon squeezy

either

Give 0845 2701660 a bell and vote for JHS at the Stafford Depot

or
email

xfactor@arriva.co.uk

same info ..

Oh yes in return for this good deed something in return

Good lady has decided to let anyone wearing Forum T shirts on the old Bus service for free ( no names no pack drill ..wink wink type of thing) If you get on a bus and your wearing a shirt or she IDs you from meets etc you travel gratis . It is likely she will cover your costs herself unless there's over 20 of you Miss T ! you wont know till it happens !.. but don't say owt!

Thanks in advance

is that all we have to quote? do i just send an e-mail saying nothing except:

"I'd like to vote for JHS for your X Factor competition."

will they know who JHS is? will they want some kind of reason? i don't live in stafford at the moment, so i won't actually have made use of her services (fnarr) at this point!

well
I guess it wou;d be nice to put something like X factor driver nomination or something

then in the body of the e-mail

put I'd like to vote for ..Mrs JHS at Stafford Depot

I think the idea of all the T shirt wearing forumites hoping to get a freebie lift is a good one .. a bit like the lottery and probs stand a better chance too of actually winning

but cheers DB old son all votes greatly appreciated ..and you never know one day when you do move back to the ford you might be glad of a spot of transport someday

Aww bless!

The hubby putting in a plea for me. I think I'll win anyway .cus I'm friendly, polite, always smiling and I'll wait for people if they're running for the bus! Until they get off and then I get out the "oust". The smell of wee and moth balls can be over whelming sometimes :rolleyes:

I'm known as JHS at the depot so they'll know who you mean and just say some nice things please. I drive all the services in and around Stafford, Uttoxeter, Rugeley, Lichfield and the villages. The lottery of the free ride is fun too.

Cheers guys :kiss:

I've got these details to complete from an e-mail:

Thank you so much for responding to our Arriva X Factor Appeal.

For your vote to be counted, we need as much information as possible. Please can provide us with as much detail as you can so we can identify the correct driver you wish to nominate, for example:

- the drivers full name
- bus number or route
- which town they are from



PM me some details and I'll get onto it pronto.

I was on number 8's all day today.

I'm from the Stafford Garage and I'm a lady driver who wears a hat, that should do it! :D
