We had two coaches at the Hampton Court Flower show today, one driven by Brian and the other by myself.
We arrive by 09:30 and are the first two, of what would be a hundred, coaches there.#
As with previous years the Police and VOSA are out in force checking driving records and vehicles.
We are both checked and all is well with our driving hours and rest periods with the police being very helpful and giving us both some small hints and advice on how to operate the new digital tachograph.
The VOSA man checked over both coaches inside and out and Brian's didn't have a single fault. Mine had a puncture on the offside rear inner tyre! They were only put on during the vehicle inspection on Monday!
The tyre company came out and repaired what was a large hole in the tyre, rather like we used to do on our pushbikes!
All is well now.
We also met David from Fenns Travel who arrived with his coach in the afternoon who is a friend of both Brian and myself.
I spoke to a couple of drivers and was pleased to know that we are not the only company occasionally sending out tours with low numbers but it seems a problem with many companies.
I enjoyed today and hopefully all of the passengers did too!
