Title: Bus Driving Experience Days...
Post by: M3troBake1979 on January 06, 2014, 11:38:15 PM
Okay everyone... so it seems there's a track or flight experience day available for most things out there if you really look. Back in the day, and probably even now, the "Golden Book of Dreams" company beginning with A, ending in S used to do such events for a price. Nowadays with the ease of access online, there are many options for fulfilling the petrol-head dream....

Now...

Bus driving experiences!!

Do you think I can find anything of the sort in my quest to quench the thirst to drive a double decker? Okay... well, there IS perhaps one or two who for a fee, have some vintage Routemasters or DM9's? But going by my user id, you can all guess what I want to test drive, right ;)

So - does anyone have any contacts of someone - someone who can help? I have a bog standard car licence, nothing else.

Thanks for reading!

Would any experience days be available for those not yet in posession of a car license?

That would be something I'd love to do :P. Doubt it would be available though

There was someone advertising a day driving an ex-London Trident off road on ebay a while ago. I can not remember the price, or how far away from Birmingham it was, but they are done
