It's easy without thinking twice, you just need to get used to it. All of the mistakes being done have nothing to do with the bus and are the same if you were in a car, I watched this since Episode 1 to 6 and the common mistakes are simply red lights and not seeing pedestrians. The only thing I see that would be hard with a bus is the tail swing which is something that every bus driver deals with and you simply get used to it, maybe it's heavy and harder to drive but it's not that hard as they make it seem.

@@ramboi9498 you're right mate, all of the mistakes are just not seeing peds and approaching traffic lights a bit too hastily. Not fast, but approaching a traffic light at 25mph when you got 50+ people on is asking for trouble. People talk about stopping distance and yeah, that plays a part, but they can stop pretty fucking quickly if I want it to. I just don't wanna end up with everybody on the floor. Tail swing is another thing, but you get used to it and know where you'll hit something and when you won't. Driving a bus is as familiar to me as driving a car is. Although they are completely different!

"I can take corners at 30-40mph" - Another reason you shouldn't be anywhere near a bus.

Well as much as I enjoyed binge watching this I wish I didnt bloody do it at 3 am

Havnt been on a Bus for 30 years this series was Brilliant, Thanks for the Upload.

As an ex London bus driver (not Arriva, I'll add!) this brought back all the memories!! ha ha

I guess if you're a cyclist or Biker watching this then you should be extra careful and patient next time you're out, as you can see the extra care taken into account when dealing with you on the road.

Loved this. My wee brother driver drives a double decker in Edinburgh. 🙂

I passed my bus test in Glasgow 2010 and had 2 driving examiner's, 1 examining the examiner who was examining me , bloody stressfull but still passed and drove for 10 years but over a year ago got a new job and after watching all this kinda feel like going bk to the buses again even part time lol

+chrischoy9 not Cummins. It's a DAF chassis, not Dennis. It has a DAF 865 8.6 litre engine. Dennis Trident 2s have an 8.3 litre Cummins C series engine anyway; a 5.9 litre Cummins B series engine would never power a modern double decker, only the much lighter AEC Routemaster they have been swapped into. ADL Enviro400s after 2007 downsized to the then-new 6.7 litre Cummins B series engine, but that is a much more capable engine than the old 5.9 litre variant. In fact, today it has entirely replaced and made obsolete the 8.3 litre Cummins C series engine, which is of course discontinued. Today, in single deckers, the power outputs that were originally of the 5.9 litre Cummins B series engine are served by the 4.5 litre Cummins B series engine which only has 4 cylinders, rather than 6. The only exception is the 11.8m ADL Enviro200 which does use the 6.7 litre 6 cylinder version. But it probably won't be long until the 4 cylinder Cummjns B series engine matches the 6 cylinder version's power and torque, which will also allow the ADL Enviro400 double decker to use a 4 cylinder engine even in non-hybrid form (The Wright StreetDeck, Optare MetroDecker and Volvo B5TL already do).

That's only because he was new. Many new drivers have a tendency to forget about the size and weight of what they are driving during the first few weeks of training.
