Double Decker Bus Driving

Did you ever watch 'On the Buses' and wonder what it would be like controlling one of these awesome beasts of the road? Well here's your chance to experience a double decker bus, in this unique driving session.

This ‘on the buses’ experience is a rare chance to drive a Double Decker bus and bring your family along too. The short wheel base and long overhang takes a bit of getting used to, especially when manoeuvring into coned garages, pulling out of T-junctions, and circumnavigating roundabouts.  You will be amazed at how you have to overhang junctions and corners to get round. The semi automatic gear box is relatively easy to use - in a fashion - but not so easy to do properly and that's how we want it done! Surprisingly good fun and a must for ‘bus nuts’.  You will share this experience with up to 4 other drivers, all taking turns behind the wheel for different sections of the course. The course is not run as a competition, but there are lots of different sections and skills that are taught and can be put into practise. A great fun laugh with loads of spectators in the Bus all the time.
