The Rolling Chronicles: Life, Lanes, and Lessons from the Driver’s Seat

By
As a city bus driver, I'm not just steering through traffic, I'm navigating a sea of stories, personalities, and unexpected moments.

So, join me behind the wheel as we dive into the life and lanes of public transport, where every journey has a tale to tell.

When the City Slows Down Long Enough to Catch Up

By
Four former wedding photographers, one Edinburgh heatwave, and enough old stories to fill a photo album. What started as casual drinks on George Street became an afternoon of laughter, nostalgia, alfresco dining, and rediscovering the city through fresh eyes.

By
Sometimes being a good bus driver isn't about what you do. It's about noticing what everyone else missed. A passenger says they're fine. Your instincts aren't quite convinced. So what do you do when something feels wrong, but isn't quite wrong enough to intervene? Sometimes nothing obvious has happened, but something doesn’t quite add up. Recognising the signs and simply asking, “Are you okay?” can be the most important action of all. There are plenty of things you expect to deal with on a bus. Late runners. People who wave at you from half a mile away. Someone insisting they definitely pressed the bell (they didn't). And, of course, the daily debate over whether the empty seat next to someone is actually occupied by an invisible friend. Then there are the moments that aren't in the timetable. Recently, I was doing a driver change when I noticed a bloke sitting at the back of the lower deck chatting away to a lone female passenger. He appeared to be under th...
