    yes,i hope you are looking
    is it or was it,a sixth sense,or anticipation
    but whatever the incidents happend had i been there or not
    while i was driving a TRACKY bus
    the first one
    it was a Friday morning
    it was a most horrible morning
    a howling gale force wind i was to have a driving test
    it was my second time of rejoining the trackies
    i had left the tracky depot,in a double decker
    with the inspector on board making for the Bus sation
    as i said a howling gale force wind
    i had to stop at the Lights on park road
    whilst waiting i spotted a lady pushing a pram
    it would be about 10 am ish
    i could see she was strugging
    also i new she would have trouble going past the end house
    into a gap
    the lights changed
    i set off at a crawl
    as she entered the gap
    Whoosh,the wind took hold of the pram
    snatched it from her hand
    and tipped it upside down
    right in front of my Bus
    fortunatley it was a well made pram and the bairn was unharmed

    the second incident,was when i was early morning
    taking the day shift to Houghton main
    it was winter time very cold,no sign of any frost
    until, i left Ardsley,and as we hit the open area
    a line of frost, i arrived at houghton pit
    and had to wait for the Night shift
    round about ten past six i set off back to Tarn
    as approached that line of frost,
    i eased off my accelerator
    and sure enough,
    a army Motor cycle, coming from ardsley
    hit the Frosty road,
    and he lost it,i saw man and byke leave each other
    the Byke came and hit my radiator THUMP
    i had stopped by now
    the Cyclist ,came sliding and went with his legs under the Bus
    well partly
    i knew there were traffic coming from darfield
    i ran down the road to stop the traffic
    the miners pulled himout from under the bus
    do you know he did not have a scratch
    he was wearing one of those pilot looking suits with helmet and googles
    but we took him to the bus station
    the tracky took him for check to Hospital
    he was ok
    BUT,he was on his way from french leave
    back to Kirton Lindsay

    now the third incident, i cant really account for this
    it was April,i was on the Huddersfield ,via Kirkburton run
    a cold and frosty saturday morning
    about 10 oclockish
    the Bus was full to standing a t Kirkburton
    now ,because,of having to run to time
    there was no need to put the foot down
    i was doing about 20/25 ish
    enjoying the ride
    as i was passing STORRS HALL.
    the road very wide
    approaching me was a new car ,it was a Morris 11,00
    a new type of vehicle then the transvere engine
    when suddenly,it went out of control
    it tipped over on its roof,and was coming towards me,diagonly
    it missed my bus
    i stoped,got out and half of my passengers were out
    i could see the driver tryiing to get out
    he was OK not hurt
    , i told my passengers to get back on the BUS
    and do you know i still arrived at Huddersfield with 5 mins to spare
    and report it to the Police
    never heard owt about it

    what you think luck,sixth sense anticipation or what

    thanks for reading

    Yes Windy i remember now,
    i was on the Donny Mex
    i was just stting off from the stand in the Bus station
    and i saw in my mirror,heard a gasp
    so stopped i had not gone 2 feet
    what happened an old lady had come from behind and saw i was about to set off so she tride to get on the bus from the rear where she could not bee see
    ,once again she clung on and was ok
    then there was the time i was on Nights
    and we had to take the drivers conductoors home i was on the royston
    and going down Laithes lane
    i had stopped and dropped one person off
    and as is et off the ball rang
    i thought oh dear ive forgot some one
    so banged the brakes on
    and a heard clatter clatter and this driver came tumbling down the gang way
    he was my next door Nieghbour a driver,i knew he was getting off at the next stop
    but i thought i had left some one
    he was having a bit of fun ringing the bell
    thats 2of Windy

    Sounds like

    very good driving - being very aware of the road, conditions and other motorists/pedestrians.
