Does anyone else remember the dual control Guy double decker buses that operated out of Yardley Wood Garage in the 50's/60's for driver training? The instructor sat immediately behind the pupil and had his own steering wheel and, I think, controls.
I remember the buses parked up on Swanshurst Lane when the team were taking a break. I think the buses were numbered 95 and 96. They looked quite old by then.
They always fascinated me and I wish I'd had a good look inside to see exactly what controls were duplicated. Did the instructor have a gearstick, a clutch and footbrake as well? I'll never know.
