The Nursery

I have now been driving for more than a week. My confidence grows with each day. I now feel ‘at home’ behind the steering wheel of a bus. It’s a bit surreal, when I’m not driving and I see a bus, I feel amazed I drive those things.

Part of the induction to driving is to be in the ‘Nursery’. I drive the same routes and schedule every day for a week. This goes on for 4 weeks, each week with a different routes and schedules. The purpose of this is to allow the new drivers to become familiar with a few routes and to gain confidence in driving them. This idea was only recently introduced.
