well hope you like wot i have don so here go`s again this time i was was still working for Bournemouth transport.
in the early days as a conductor or driver it was a different ball game from to day it was allot more fun enjoyed going to work .
working on a pd3 layland (back loader ) when i was condtoring with a driver who was a fast one but we had 15 mins at turnmas in stead of 10 mins .so it was hang on tight when we went round corners or roundabouts ?
well we were coming down a hill in to Bournemouth (bath road )with a roundabout at the bottom of it and ray was driving a bit fast and as we went round the roundabout my box (with my ticket machine and my lunch in it ) went flying out though the open back entrance whoosh on to the road and all i could do was see it disappear as we were going along the other road in to the town centre .
well as you can see when we came to stop .i went round to speak to ray and tell him whot had happened he just loft and said we will pick it up when we go out on the next journey but when we got back to were it was unfortunately it was flat a norther bus had seen it in the road and ran over it .???
so one flat box and ticket machine r and lunch well it had it . so all i could do was give free rides
until i finished and hope we do not see an inspector .(which we did not ) so when i went to pay in i was in trouble. as it was an accident it was not so bad .
so you see you can now see the funny side of it ..
imagine if that happened to day you would be in a lot of trouble and have to pay for a new machine.
