- Double Decker Driving School - Episode 3
This time, Manuel Daniel is three weeks into the course and struggling. He’s failed a series of crucial safety exams and his driving isn’t up to the high standard expected.
For Manuel becoming a bus driver will mean the world; he will finally be able to afford to move out of his parents’ house and rent a place of his own, with a room for his bus-loving son. He says: “I’m happy with a second chance, I’m not ashamed. I’m looking forward to doing the test and passing. More pressure now.”
Bart Kosciolek’s on a mission to become London’s friendliest bus driver. Originally from Poland, Bart came to the UK eight years ago. He’s tried his hand at being a chef, but is now set on gaining his bus driving qualification.
With his infectious giggle, he wants to spread a little happiness to the capital’s seven million daily bus passengers. He says: “Come on, let’s have some fun. A little smile, a little joke is going to help people make their mood for the day.”
But instructor Anna Groom is only prepared to go along with Bart’s antics so far. She says: “He’s a very good driver, he just has to remember while he’s busy smiling and laughing he has to concentrate on driving as well.”
Newly-married Rodney Willis has given up a job as a used car salesman to drive a double decker. He believes becoming a bus driver will give him the security he craves.
He says: “I’m quietly nervous, but quietly confident. I’ve had my heart set on driving a bus. That’s my plan A, plan B and plan C really.”
But despite having driven hundreds of cars, nothing can prepare Rodney for taking control of a 10 tonne double decker - particularly when he finds himself surrounded with hundreds of marching protesters in the middle of Trafalgar Square.

Its so horrible when you dream comes crashing down on you!! Wish you all the best on your dream Manuel.
Dont know if you guys cares but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can watch all the new series on InstaFlixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother for the last couple of days =)
@Carmelo Jackson yup, I have been using InstaFlixxer for months myself :D
"After 25 years experience Dave knows what to do"....opens the door, "sod this I'm off!"
And poor Rodney is like "WTF!!!!"
Why did Big Bad dirty Dave say sod this iam off he should be taken down Golders green bus skid pan he should be made to sit in the back when i go down there in a Routemaster Double Decker when it is green swinging to the Left handbrake on and he goes 🪰flying out the back he will enjoy that very much and he will appreciate it if aswell.
Damn... sorry Manuel. All the best in life.
I like the Polish guy.... Life is too short, be happy.... he is right!
He said he was Gay so..
@@fargeeks nothing wrong with that
@@fargeeks so what?
@@fargeeks just fuck off
@Planespotting Malta Jehovah
That Polish guy that's happy and loves cooking is the best! A true inspiration!
Yes
I love how he says "I didn't crash and the bus is still in one piece" and in the background there's a recovery truck
bruchpilot747 yeah I also noticed that I thought it was a bit humorous tow trucks should be in the driving schools teaching how to drive a heavy vehicle on the road
Manuel's such an attitude might well ruin his life. Of course, fatherhood is a separate call.
Paulo Gianolio usually they're not dedicated training school's, it's also a operational garage with companies.
What time of the video was it?
8:05
Bart has an excellent personality, how refreshing to see someone enjoy every aspect about life
I feel so bad for manual, he tried so hard to make it work for himself & his son .. I hope he’s doing well now
"Don't get lost while driving a double decker bus in London" Bart 2015
Kerry Rutherford yah don’t
happy bus driver? trust me after a year he won't be after dealing with passengers half of them treat u like something u have stepped in.
Amen to that
How much does take a driver at beginning
So do-do
End Riti £5 per week.
you get what you give....dont wait to start saying hello or smilling before others......the most of the people are responding very well to it ( and i can say that after 15 years driving)
You can tell when they're new drivers saying hello and thank you normally they don't even look at you when you get on
"Don't get lost in a double decker in London" - Excellent life advice from Bart
Rodney is exactly like I was when I was training. Infact a lot of trainees want to go to the left.
After driving a car, being sat high up in a bus drivers cab, you feel as though you are stuck in the middle of the road. Your natural reaction is to steer left.
Phoebe Carter after 7 days in the bus I was driving home in my car after a shift, moment I saw traffic my first thought was to drive into the bus lane then it hit me I'm in my car lol
Lol
Are you in the UK? I think we do the opposite here in the US. I swore I was staying to the right.
My instructor says the same about me. I've only just started and he says I'm too close to the curb. How long did it take you to be able to judge your positioning properly?
Bart's laugh is brilliant
Samuy Wardell yah
Driving a bus changes your attitude to life
that Polish driver has great humor😀😀
I loved the training! Best part of the job lol
I think Bart drives in Middlesbrough now. not sure it's him but it looks like a slightly older version of him and he's really happy
Yes he is I got on his bus and asked him
6 weeks training to drive an automatic bus. when I learned to drive a bus it was 3 weeks training and it was in a 30 yr old Bristol with a crash gearbox and I passed 1st time.
I passed last November and like you, it was three weeks training. Although I had an easier time with the bus as I had to do the first two weeks in an Eclipse/B7RLE and the last week in a Commander/SB200. Passed every test first time. Although the training was tough, it was thoroughly enjoyable and I had the fortune of having an amazing instructor too.
I'm under the impression that the tests in London are far more strict than they are elsewhere. Certainly with Arriva outside of London, you'd typically have no more than 3-4 weeks to train and pass all assessments.
For Manuel bus driving was never going to be more than a dream
So I'm watching people driving a bus AND I CAN'T GET ENOUGH!
"How do you know I'm Polish" lol.
Sadly, Manuel is the kinda guy that would pass only by luck, not through skill,and awareness, and somebody else will pay the price for it...
bart is the cutest, so positive🥺
bran yes at least someone agrees with me
Bart is so adorable
Haha love that polish guy
Bart is such a great guy. i love people like him. hope he loves his job and doesnt get disrespected. hes so high off life and thats great
Dude come back and give us more like this!
It's like they like to make these new driver's nervous .They need to be a lil more calm with them & they'll learn quicker & better .
I think part of it is these trainers have been at it for so long--they've seen everything and don't have much patience left.
Hey in the US i had trainers made nervous after watching videos of accidents with a school bus yet alone realizing how its not that easy staying in your lane if you dont look at your mirrors
I think it's to prepare them for the stress of driving the bus. It's a very stressful job, and putting them under stress tells them how well they work under pressure.
Us engineers just get a quick 5 mins round block and put up for our test, some say we have an advantage as we’re manoeuvring buses round depot/workshop, but still daunting going up for test, thankfully I passed, some of the “testers” like to scare the trainees, it’s like a power trip for the 90 mins test
Can you imagine how they drove those things with manual gearbox and no hydraulic steering in the old days?
Crash box!
Well, less cars, more polite people and trajects were shorter so, it was the good time
Rodney and his wife were on BBC Pointless haha - he's upgraded from buses to trains.
Really? Is there a video ?
@@trickifichd2939 Not that I know of, sorry. Believe it or not, I also saw Mickey Welch (one of the instructors) on one of those house shows recently haha. Location Location Location or such like.
Pointless series 24 episode 29 (I believe) at the time of recording of pointless he was training route learning from Eastleigh to Hams Hall in Birmingham so either a freight driver or working for another Arriva company CrossCountry I am trying to fish out more information but his presence on social media and the internet as a whole is non existent I'm going on the things he said. 😊
I already like this guy
Oh its a grand life on the buses
Manuel just isn't cut out for this job... I wouldn't feel safe with him behind a wheel of cheese
LOL.
He just does not have what is needed to be a bus driver.
That's life though.
You can't succeed at everything you put your heart into.
I felt that for the black guy who failed poor lad he was relying on that job i think they should have tried to calm lad down and gave him his last chance
His name is Manuel.
He is a good guy for sure.
Just not a bus driver.
Maybe should try driving a lorry truck ?
He was a sh*t driver
In the US we called it a "pre-trip inspection"
Yeah but in the UK and Europe it's far more extensive cause you see there's a better attitude to safety here than in the US.
@@markcaldwell2831 sounds more difficult to get your license there
@@fargeeks Because the safety checks are more extensive, they absolutely should be with buses
I like buses
Really good job wow I like too
I was on here and had itv on our bus,in the end our instructor didn't want it aired so didn't get on TV,but I passed my test and drove for 2 years without an accident or complaint,the worst part for me was first driving a bus in service,it was a driver swap in Croydon and the bus was packed,boy the anxiety that day
Come on Manuel I'm riutting for ya u can do it
that fake horn effect mis being abused
RUclips Chanel well it nicer that the beep
3:41 I say, a rather well endowed Vixen. Ding dong. I saw a Routemaster going around the Arc De Triomphe and snapped it. No Cliff Richard on board.
If I ever tried and failed the test I would be like ima be a taxi driver.
the legendary master if I failed in London I would try Lincoln
Far too happy!!!
When you first learn to drive bus, focus on the road infront of you and listen to trainers. Check your minors every 5 seconds and your surroundings. Steer when the objects pass your shoulders, because the steering wheel behind you.
i just like the part when everyone just flies towards the front
6 weeks training is double what First Bus give you. I got 20 days in total.
i didnt have 6 weeks at stagecoach either everything was done in 3 weeks
30 hours training is too little.
Poor old Rodney stuck in Trafalgar square in a public demonstration and his instructor momentarily sods off.
manuel now drives for uber
A good job for him.
At least there are three dozen other bus companies in London. If at first you don’t succeed, try try try try try try try try again.
Bart had it easy from the beginning
wow, Bus stations are really relic in looking. so outdated
It's good to see their is some Reality to this show.
Reality is ?
Some people don't reach the top of Everest, no matter how much they want it to happen.
I feel like all bus drivers trainee or not should have been notified before hand about the demonstration
Welcome to Busmageddon !
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
i want to know if manuel had all the checks right before he did the recap
The best part of the job is the training after that the wages for new drivers don't reflect on the work they do, lorry driving is way better plus you don't deal with Ibus and constant last minute duty changes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That sounds like Nicko McBrain from Iron Maiden, narrating the story
like national express they6 have red and blue buses, nx have nx west midlands, and nx coventry, coventry are blue &white, west mids are red! I thought that arriva london only had red buses, because i know that arriva telford only have blue ones
Drive a lorry none of this... rubbish! lol I'm in 18T Great job!! XD
Am about to do the same just got my lorry license just waiting for the lockdown to be lifted then I will do my mod 4
@@idienigheuku5815 Hey there! well a congratulations is in order for passing! Shame you can't get your CPC done now! that is not cool espically with all the jobs going! What ever your goals in this career my advice to you is either stick with an agency that take good care of you or even better in my view find a company that suits your needs and that will treat you well! then the only stress you'll find is that of which you create! hehe XD Take care x
Definately thankyou am practicing my class 1 as well good times ahead
19:31 he already knows
The drive was ok didint kill anyone only because thire was a driving instructor with him lol
When did Olive get a job as a driving instructor :)
TheWacoKid1963 I'd rather refer to her as Twinkletits
TheWacoKid1963 不
15:49 bro I live like 2 mins away from this depo
Why when he said he didn’t crash the bus there was a recovery vehicle in the background
why are the routes signs not digital? do they want to keep it authentic? it's hillarious that they set it by hand
Alex Alekos I know even the 2003 buses in Lincoln had a digital displays
@@thebestalan5685 even the 2002s in the United States are digital and even since the 80s the signs used a flip dot method that did a scroll across action to show what route the bus is on
Matrix blinds are harder to read
Bart is the only one i'd've passed out of the lot of them
2:17 Bart certainly is in Pole position.
right
how did two instructors not notice the road sign at 12:03, they had two chance to be able to turn left
I feel sorry for Manuel but couldn't he try out for stagecoach or metroline or another bus company
There are other bus companies out there, no doubt about that.
Thing is, If he struggled here, after 30 hours of training, Will he manage to pass at another company? Good luck to him though
When he applies at another company, does he have to disclose that he failed at the previous company?
Sunahama Nagai i don't think so unless he gives his new employer arriva as a reference which would be a stupid thing to do
Ryan Power And first
every arriva driver nowadays is polish.
+NUKEKIDGAMEING XL I think he was just making an observation.
bendybus They Arn't, Hardly Any Work For Arriva Leicester. I Also Think That First Leicester Only Has 1 Polish Driver So That Is A False Statement
My dad is polish
bendybus you say that like it’s a bad thing?
LazyGuy222 2 I’ve had a Sikh drive on the 85 before, I’ve seen one do the 50 (probably the same guy) and was behind one doing the 127 on the 2. I thought originally that British white drivers picked Arriva and First had all the other ethnic groups, but when I did my StreetDeck video on my other channel, both drivers were British white.
cześć kochanie !
Wojciech Wieja wiem😐 cringe
xDDDDDD
L + R on wheel lol
JakeIsHear that would help meh
I think with a few more hours Manuel would have "got it" after all he had a car driving licence and he would have had to take a driving test and passed to get that.
I think it's a classic case of "mind going blank under pressure".
Shame Arriva only give 2 chances at the test.
Some people give up their jobs for this as well, not something I'd risk, at least if I didn't pass I could go back to my old job.
William Cherrington Manuel was dangerous. He had over 50 hours ffs and still sucked!
Yeah but I’m not sure if that is allowed
@@danielgould9107 yes that is a lot of hours, I don’t think Manuel was concentrating at all on what he was doing, how he passed his car test to be allowed to learn to drive a bus I’ll never know.
2:03 What the hell is that guy on because I want some
Pastore happiness pills
10:18 WHOS FROM POLAND?!
Kamil bart
14:30 furtrue me
7:40 bro
They gotta learn to stop mashing on the brakes so hard !!
*okay....*
Mr Bean would nail it
The Futuristic Dreamer he would drive on top of the bus like he did with his car
LOL
dagga
I want maxines job she don't seem to do anything
Why use a decker single decks are longer so get you use to length
Most of London's roads are too tight for 12 metre buses, 9 to 11 metre double deckers are the only option
its true what waltrr said. they why also all of their trucks r cab overs n single axle drive rears
@@waltrr8984 funny that i drive a 14 meter coach down alot of londons roads and that fits down them
Errr just one minor problem , what happened to please don't eat and drink on the bus?
They were eating in the bus, inside of it. Noone got on top of the bus, so no violation.
😂😂😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The happiest bus driver more like the most annoying bus driver
Calm down he is just passionate about his job😡😡😡
7:05 come on it wasnt even near miss
That's what happens if you don't take it SLOW and dont look at that side of the bus with your mirror
@@fargeeks but he still had plenty of space between the bus and the curb, i mean the instructor panicked for no reason
@@teleportedfunk lol a had 1 instructor panic when i ALMOST went through the railroad tracks without stopping and checking first.
I don't feel sorry for Manuel for being kicked out of the course. Because he doesn't know what he is doing. Probably customers will insult him in the bus in the future. 20:04 Termination.
Apparently he went with Uber in the end. Probably better since I’ve had close calls with a lot of them driving in a manner that suggests the same.
This is such a peanut 🥜🥜🥜 job
Shouldnt this be called bus driving training school as there's no difference single or double deckers
Sorry, but it's a joke that these guys need to be so careful - they are driving a fucking TITAN of a vehicle! They own the road! It's everyone else's duty to respectfully step/swerve/leap aside. A monster vehicle like that commands respect.
Does double decker driver know how to drive coaches?
Yeh stachcoach have coaches to it's the same licence
@@stuartconnerty9327 I knew it know my brother working as a bus driver in Herefordshire thanks anyway
Ianko Pehlivanov Stagecoach has people drive in coaches but they all still learning the same single decker bus even if he drives a double-decker which is kind of strange
A coach is a bus, only difference between a coach and a double decker is a top deck and a shorter tail swing
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Why are people looking for such jobs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
11:20 Guy has polish accent
British media proceeds to play stereotypical Eastern European music
