As a student in the late 1970's I remember many of the bus drivers being particularly rough on the throttle and brakes, throwing the passengers up and down the bus in Bob Newhart style (for anyone who remembers his sketches)! As for the semi-automatics....well I doubt those lasted long before repair - as some drivers literally slammed the lever between gears resulting in the bus almost jumping. Strange, as the United coach drivers of the time knew how to operate them so smoothly!
In this video, the driver was the bad guy, when I was a driver, many passengers were the bad guys. Using large denominations without being the least bit apologetic, taking it out on you when the last service didn't turn up (admittedly this happened to me only once) passengers being aggressive. These passengers in this feature were model passengers who I would treat like royalty!!
The point is the drivers do start with enough change, then arseholes expect change from large note denominations and then all of a-sudden the driver has insufficient change for the rest of the journey. There isn't a cash office hidden in the engine bay for more change.
@@VW_Fan More like if every passenger gives a £20 note for a £1 fare and expects change there will be no change for anyone. The company can't provide a float of like £500. Remember cash given goes into the farebox; not the change box.

the real name of this comedian (portraying a Tyne & Wear driver as being like a total wanker) was John Anderson Rawlinson and, until 1969, he was a professional footballer, playing for Bury, Barrow (twice, first from 1965-66 and again in 1968-69) and Runcorn. After he swapped the pitch for the stage (not to mention television), he adopted the moniker of Spike Rawlinson, then just Spike Rawlings. He died in hospital thirteen years ago, while awaiting a liver transplant. As for playing the bus driver from hell in this video (which has a typically cheesy soundtrack); well, I've come across wankers like Animal Anderson behind the wheel...people who you'd just love to twat. And it's nearly always the men, because, let's face it, women drivers are better behaved. I remember when I was twenty, I'd got on the 86 to town I think and I noticed that, at the wheel of this particular East Lancs-bodied Atlantean was a young woman of about my age. Well, I said something about the first time I'd seen a woman at the wheel of a bus and she said something along the lines of 'us being better than the men'. And that is true. I've never yelled at a woman bus driver for being a wanker or bell-end. The only time I did have a go at a woman driver was some girl who was on the 410 because she nearly fucking drove off without me...despite me yelling to wait a minute.
Why should the driver wait for you at all? That's the trouble with too many selfish passengers, they expect a bus on a schedule for all to give personal service. Wake up to reality.

I worked with some of those drivers sitting in the canteen, I was based at Slatyford depot.
Great that you could recover this video from the original wax cylinders.
I’ve never seen anything more like my dad then Animal Anderson.
Have to using chicken run with it then!
A corporate training video with a sense of humour. I like the homage to Blakey.
Me too. The clip at 9.58 was spot on
Christ, I wish we had driver canteens and facilities now like they have in the video.
Drivers in those days don’t know how good they had it 😂

Great to see and hear some of the Tyne & Wear Metropolitans in action, especially at 9.22 when one pulls away from the bus station. Bus heaven!

Good old days, very different to now
TBH I wish the drivers were like Animal Anderson instead of what they're now!!
We love Animal!
Wish todays bus drivers were more like those in the film, bloody hilarious.
what, acting like a total wanker and having ago at the oldies? Oh yes, that will really help things on the buses...I don't fucking think so.
12:05 we are the people who pay your wages. Yet she wants to use her free bus pass. The amount of times av heard this
Auf Wiedersehen Pet meets On The Buses
The auld biddy in the shop was in the first series of Auf Pet, the episode where Oz sent the porno back to England in coffin
Hi, long shot but do you happen to have an original copy of the video? I'm trying to find this in higher quality if at all possible!

Why should they be apologetic? There isn’t anything wrong with using cash. It’s up to the company to provide change.
If everyone had that attitude nobody would have any change at all. If you accept cash you have to accept that you’re going to have to give change.
