And he still turned up for work after he realised his good fortune because he didn't want to let down his early morning passengers. Top man.

He even said he'd be swapping his bus for a lawnmower tractor. Sadly he won't be taking passengers on it.

Top man to the bloke, restores a little bit of faith in humanity after all.

Seems to me from what i've seen over the last year or so that D&G are going from strength to strength, their drivers are a lot more helpful than in the past & performance seems to be improving.

New buses have helped to smarten up their image a lot too, all the darts bar for 187 (T467 HNH) & another are the last standing at crewe. Appears to be that the older fleet is mainly based around the stafford & stoke/hanley areas.

According to their fleet list they only have three and they are all based at Adderley Green: http://dgbus.co.uk/fleet-list.html I don't know if that meant they were loaned to Crewe or if it meant drivers based at Adderley Green were used for the day.

On the 300 route pretty much every bus used is now either ex-Bakerbus (Streetlites from 2010/11) or ex-Go Goodwins (Solos from 2010 and Enviros from 2011.) The first part of last year the appearance of a W reg Solo or a T reg Dart was possible.

An unusual site this evening - Solo SR DG64 BUS branded for the 32 route is on the 300 route having replaced the Streetlite which was on the route earlier.
