RE: Bus operators taking on drivers...
From a general perspective, don't hang around waiting for companies to advertise they're taking new drivers on, because they often don't. Stagecoach for one rarely advertise when they're taking on, only some depots do, mainly because they have an open recruitment, which means application forms are always given out and taken in, and they'll contact you as and when a position is available, which could be straight away or it could be in a few weeks time. Arriva often operate in the same way, while First generally advertise their positions. I know of other operators in the North West (Cumfybus certainly) who also operate in that way, they don't advertise specific driving vacancies, but will generally advertise that they're always looking for drivers and invite people looking for work to contact them for an application form, whether they have a vacancy or not, and keep your application on file to contact you when they do have a vacancy.
Essentially with some operators, it leaves a waiting list of drivers, so the operator will work their way through the list to take on a driver, before specifically advertising the position in public.
