be yourself
if you haven't worked in the public sector before (public meaning working with imbiciles who get on the buses) you'll be a bit lost as to what to say, but experience is what counts here
you'll get all osrts of difficult situations but remember that it's the real world out there so if someone gets on the bus in the pissing rain and doesn't fold up the buggy you have to decide if they need to collapse it first or risk it blocking the emergency exits in the case of an accident when you need to clear the bus
it's been a while since i had an interview (about 8 years) for the buses so things may have changed but they want to see confidence in the interview
have you already done the pratical side of things like the driving assesmenment? that'll carry more wieght with the company if you can see that you can handle a bus
and good luck

yes
or you can always open the rear panel and it does the same thing![Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
or it used to anyway
or open the rear doors and watch the handbrake stick on
or, on a routemaster, unscrew one of the bulbs, put a 2p peice in there, screw it back on again and turn the lights on and it blows every bulbs on the bus
or, again on the routemaster, leave it in gear for long enoug in traffic and watch the gearbox oil heat up the lead plugs and piss fluid everywhere (or, if it's not had the trque converter modded, wait till that blows up
)
there are loads of tricks, but these are the easy ones

Sometimes we'd keep pushing the button on the same bus.
Eventually the driver would start the bus in reverse to scare us.

my mate bought a coach for Ł100000, finance is Ł350 a week, he gets Ł1200 a week from a local firm subbing and does old biddys trips Mon to Fri - he gets a bit of extra diesel money by running the odd day tour once hes there.
