Could be a stunt driver who just had a normal car license as a bus can be driven if your carying seven passengers or less. I watched it a year ago and thought it was brilliant, a 4 star film, don't know why if it's because its local or if it because it had Ricky Tomlinson for 1/4 of it. More importantly has anybody heard anything of where whats left of these Wright Endurences or anything else of where they may be? |

'Liverpool City Centre' was used instead of 'Netherley' so that viewers actually understood where the bus was heading, and to emphasise the films location. |

Buses can only be driven on a Category B driving licence if: - The vehicle was manufactured more than 30 years before the date it was driven and not used for business purposes or carrying more than 8 passengers - The vehicle is a minibus with up to 16 seats |
