The BBC series based around Go Ahead London that was shown in 2005 is being repeated next week on London's least viewed TV channel - London Live (Sky 117). Starts on Monday at 8pm with the first two episodes. There are repeats over the week but it looks like Mondays are when the next episodes are shown. There are 8 episodes in total. One of the You Tube clips features New Cross with lots of bendy buses plus some of the 7/7 stuff. Seems like a lifetime ago that we had bendy buses in Central London.   |

I seem to remember snip bits from that series so will be good to revisit how London buses were back then. On a slightly related note I wonder how long it'll be until they show last years Routemasters series on London Live its shown the tube and now is about to show big red bus after all |

I remember that show! I remember they showed a few NX drivers working during the day. And they had a guy learning to be a bus driver on the show too. I think his name was Sebastian or something like that.

I think his name was Sebastian or something like that. Yep that's right. I watched a couple of You Tube clips which featured the trainee drivers plus the "tom boy" (her words) lady bus driver at New Cross. There was one poor chap who failed on the assessment drive in a minibus - never got behind the wheel of a double decker. |

Those were the days... Step entrance buses (though their numbers were plummeting), no 100% red rule and free travel....
I remember the show fairly well, focused around London Central for the most part, and training, when GAL was a much better opetator and they used brightly coloured NVs

I missed it, although I suspect London Live will repeat it again and again....
