Just thought I'd update - Got the job, and with the company I wanted to as well 
Thank you to everyone who offered any tips, and fingers crossed for the training now!
vit4 goodluck, however as you are still young, look into furthering your education, there is a whole world out there to be explored before you get to 50. Thank you to everyone who offered any tips, and fingers crossed for the training now!
Rather than start a new thread, thought I would ask in here.
I'm considering applying for a local bus company, however I don't have my license (I do have a full car/bike license, clean for 5 years (car)). Would they pay for me to do it? How long would I have to work for them? I'm currently applying for the Police, and although its going to be very tough to get in, there is a chance I'll be gone within the year. Would they just put something in the contract that means I can't work for another bus company within xyz months/years?
Any advice would be great

.Hi all.
I'm an ex london bus driver. Training is free and they will even pay you while training but if you leave the company before 12 or 24 months is up you might have to pay back costs towards your training. They may send debt collectors to try and get the money back.
The problem with coach driving is that the days can be long, the basic hourly rate of low and you can be away from home for days or even weeks at a time. Its a single mans job.
Getting on the trains is a good option but competition is fierce for conductor jobs never mind train driver roles.

I passed my PCV test and hated where I was working, I had signed a contract saying I had to work for them for one year. I left and went to work for another local company I received two bills for training costs which I fed to my shredder never heard from them again.
