Perhaps First might be interested to know about his conduct?

Hope you got his photo ;-)

S'funny, I quite like being photographed while driving a bus. Strange 
really, as I hate it at any other time..!

I assume they are required to wear it when on and about bus stations
(this is certainly a TfL requirement) and find it too much effort to
remove it.  You see the same with lorry drivers.

I would report him for this abuse

Arriva drivers have them on where I live, and they wear them in London,
cannot see the point in them, unless they brake down and have to leave the
vehicle, surely they do not need them on whilst driving the bus

I have emailed his company, although whether I get a reply or not is
another thing. First didn't bother replying to the last complaint
which was even worse as the driver left his vehicle running with
passengers on, on the highway to get out to threaten me.

They don't, but as it's now a requirement to wear them while off the bus, 
many drivers leave them on all the time as it's less hassle.

Manchester not seen any round here yet though .

Lothian drivers have been told they must not wear them on service. Only 
inside staff are issued with them. So I don't think it can be a legal 
requirement.

Blueline staff have been told they must NOT wear them whilst driving.
And they MUST wear them whilst not driving.

(and they MUST NOT have the top button undone at any time....)
