Next Stop Please!: My Journey in Public Transport
£10.40
He had never planned to work in Public Transport, yet over thirty years Later, Alan Scriven MBE is still working ‘on the buses’. In that time, he has been a driver, a manager, an inspector… and worked at numerous depots across the Midlands, making firm friends and occasionally clashing heads with fellow drivers, and even the odd passenger or two! As with so many industries, the public transport system has been subject to major, rigorous change over the decades. Alan has seen if not all, then quite a lot – and has many colourful stories as a result.
Next Stop Please is a great read for anyone who has worked in this industry, or been a passenger on a bus. There is certainly a lot going on behind the scenes!

I found this book very well written, it’s funny and informative. I’m hoping for another book. Definitely worth a read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

‘Next Stop Please’ is the 4th book by Alan Scriven MBE and considering not having worked in the public transport industry myself, I was surprised how much I enjoyed it.
Question: “Do you believe in angels?” I ask this because I suspect that the author might have met his guardian angels on a particular occasion during his days as bus driver. (Although, the reader will have to wait ‘til near the end of the book to see what I mean by this seemingly-outlandish claim.)
I also recommend another three books by the same author (‘The Longmynd Adventure Camp and Me’; ‘More from The Longmynd Adventure Camp and Me’; and ‘The final chapter – The Longmynd Adventure Camp and Me’.) These earlier works deal with Alan’s 33 years’ involvement with the eponymous charity that provided much-appreciated holidays in the country for underprivileged children. (Of which I will be a forever-grateful participant.)
