Metroline Buses Amateurs
Applying as an agency driver this is an industry full of Cowboys and Indians From my experience of the bus industry making hash claims they are a professional bunch they are far from it I passed my bus assessment at Willesden Junction and then took the usual induction course Following day I was assigned my route learning from Brentford lock depot Myself and Sharon the route tutor could not take an empty bus out of the garage so we had to jump a bus that was in service I learnt my route from the top deck with the route tutor as the day drew to an end she withdrew from the cabin and went upstairs to the managers office Upon returning she asked me for the lock keys saying they were the wrong ones and confiscated them She then said bizarrely that I could take a bus out and learn the route alone which I thought was backward thinking given she had taken the keys off me I told her I would continue the route learning from home on YouTube She said to me ok see you in the morning When I got home I rang my agent Integrated Solutions to ask about the following mornings route learning service my agent said that they wouldn t be taking my role any further owing to my bad attitude I can t think who they had mixed me up with but my agent said they had not I was in high spirits and talking to the drivers in an upbeat mood and even made the tutor laugh I got the axe before I even drove a route No pay and no expenses paid so I was out of pocket and back as an unemployed person AVOID this lot and stay well clear of them Complete amateurs

Bus 90 is a devils bus
Bus 90 is a devils bus Seriously not only it stinks in the summer and winter but why on earth many buses terminate at Hatton green Such a small place crowded and empty buses continue towards Feltham You finally get a seat and immediately must get off Who manages this

The worst experience
I was a candidate at the Metroline I ve received their welcome guide pack the I managed to set up an interview appointment I had 3 dates and time slots I could chose from The interview itself was a formal video call which has ended with another appointment for a driving assessment The assessment took place at the Willesden Junction depo in North-West London I ve entered into the site and followed the signs to the reception I ve been greeted by a receptionist and asked me how she can help After there was a gentleman who invited me in another room and photocopied all the requested documents Then alcohol and drug tests All negative all the paperwork has completed I was ready for do the driving assessment The driving inspector was rude Unbelievably rude and arrogant First he saw me he sized me then he went to took a key Second time he told me to follow him The basic courtesy doesn t exist at this Depo then he asked me if I came with a car I ve told him I don t drive too often because I use public transport That s how you d like to convince me you can drive a bus - he said After that I wasn t able to concentrate and focus on anything He shocked me he pledged me and already decided he will fail me Seriously That is how you treat your candidates I can t even imagine how you treat your employees I would never ever in my life would go and work for this company It s a shame That s how you ease the pressure on the person who is already under that Unfortunately I can t write names because I don t know their names as I said there is no courtesy on that site

Metroline denied injuries from dangerous driving
I was an injured passenger by dangerous driving of a bus route 120 from Hounslow to Northholt July 2022 The driver had terrible control of his accelerator and brake pedals His driving was erratic to say the least He then went on to slam the doors on me and shout abuse at me He then played victim to another bus driver who denied that he knew him He was clearly at fault thus he was being very aggressive towards me This driver was asian with glasses and not even wearing a uniform he wore a plain white t-shirt Long story short Metroline ignored my photos of injuriesThey said there was no CCTV of the incident despite asking me to confirm where I was sitting on the busThey refused to accept blame via the Ministry of Justice They offered no apology or compensationMetroline were clearly at fault for injuries caused by dangerous driving by one of their drivers along with physical and verbal abuse and for these reasons they denied everything including refusing to disclose CCTV footage of the incident They kept quiet They deleted the CCTV footage This transport company recruits cheap poorly qualified labour so that profit remains high It does not care for the safety of people It is not a regulated service These buses are a high risk to public I regularly use Southern Vectis and the quality of driving and customer service is always excellent as opposed to Metroline There needs to be regulations and standards to avoid the recruitment of poorly qualified and poor performing drivers for the sake of profit
