Just a question

If you had a DD bus what licence would you need to drive it??
If there were passengers I'd say a PCV but with no passengers would it be down to weight??

Thanks in advance

IIRC, if you are an older fart with an earlier licence, it allows you to drive a bus, as long as there are no more than 12 non fee paying passengers.

It's number of seats that matters, not how many passengers you have on board & then weight.

If you rip all but 7 seats out, can you use the bus lanes?

Just look at your licence groups.
B = MAM not exceeding 3500kg having not more than 8 passenger seats with a trailer up to 750kg.
C1 = Vehicles between 3500kg and 7500kg with a trailer up to 750kg.
D1 = Vehicles with between 9 and 16 passenger seats with a trailer up to 750kg.
C = Vehicles over 3500kg with a trailer up to 750kg.
D = Any bus with more than 8 passenger seats with a trailer up to 750kg.
