No 18 Learn how to drive a bus and get a PCV licence (1)

I actually completed this challenge on 29th November 2016 but have been so incredibly busy I have not had time to write this up!!  What an amazing experience it was learning how to drive a 40ft long double decker bus!!


4 weeks of intensive training (including how to deal with cyclists!), 3 written exams, 2 weeks with a mentor learning routes and I was released into the community armed with a very large vehicle!!








I must say I am having the most amazing time, it is sooooo much fun! All the other bus drivers are great and so supportive; I am one of only 15 women in Stagecoach Oxfordshire that is qualified to drive a bus ha ha!

Onwards for the year to get some more challenges complete - I may have to update some of them so watch this space :)
