Has anyone ever seen the inside of her tour bus like recently i know there are pictures from years ago when she had Delaney. And i have seen the outside of her newest tour buses. But i was just wondering if anyone has ever gotten a chance to go on there either years ago or recently. I know some artists allow people to see the inside of their buses. But once you have kids i can understand not wanting anyone to go on there because they would be in there. Also does Martina's band all travel in one bus with their families or do they have separate buses how does that work? And all the people that help watch her kids where do they stay. Just curious?

I believe Martina and her family have one bus and then the band has a separate one.

Haha, Tim & Faith had about 20!! (IMG:http://martina-mcbride.com/martinaville/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) A worker I was talking to in Toronto told me that one bus is JUST a private gym only for Tim (IMG:http://martina-mcbride.com/martinaville/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) and that each daughter has their own dressing room (IMG:http://martina-mcbride.com/martinaville/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |

lol about the private gym thing. Well i know that she has two red buses and then there were three light blue ones that had the same design an eighteen wheeler, then two side by side one dark blue and one brown that had the same design with two little trailers attached to them and a van or two and a suv or too and one more bus that was light brown i think but i can't tell of the design. So there were eight tour buses. when i went to the austin, texas concert we were walking towards then entrance when we noticed a big opening so we went and looked over and saw the buses. I took a picture of them thats how i know so many details

i guess the main question im trying to ask just because im curious is, how do they have enough room for a crib and three beds and a table and chairs, toys, etc. And not feel so couped up. I have been on a rv but not as big as the tour buses. And just remember there being a bunk bed a little kitchen with a table and booth like chairs. then there was the shower and toilet and sink, and then a bed in the very back. Also do they have one driver who drives the whole entire time or do they have two people so they can switch off. Also do they have it blocked off like a limo where they can have privacy from the driver?

Most buses are 45ft long
they are set up one of 2 general ways a crew or band bus (Martina has one of each) is usually set up with apx 12 bunks- 6 on either side -3 in a row one over each other, a bathroom with a shower , toilet and sink a lounge and kitchen area usualy up front with a sofa on either side , a nice tv and stereo set up , a mid size fridge a 2-4 burner cook top a sink and a microwave the main artist bus is usualy set up with what is called a state room at the back with a queen or king size bed, a restroom with a tub/shower, a toilet & sink, next is 3 or 6 bunks , then usualy a kitchenette dining table, fridge, stovetop, microwave, sink then a lounge area with sofas on either side and a nice tv and stereo sometime there are drop down tv's in each bunk and the state room usualy has a tv martina's bus has a slide out or two- I am sure one is for the living room adds like 5 ft when they are stopped, I believe the crib is one of the bunks converted to a crib, there are also a few closets and some other storage in the living area of the bus, and there is storage in the under deck areas No I have NEVER been on Martina's bus but I have been on a few others in my life hope this helps- there really is a lot more room inside than you think to answer you other question I think from what I know Martina carries one driver for each bus but several other people including John can drive in a pinch yes there is a curtian or door that can seperate the driver from the living area sorry discovered a typo This post has been edited by ChrisD: Sep 16 2007, 11:18 PM |
