To be honest I thought the just worked like a car's heater by turning a switch whenever you want and bobs your uncle, well the driver's uncle

As I understand it it depends on the bus and manufacturer.

I remember being told by a stagecoach driver once that in some cases the drivers cab has urs own blowers controlled from in the cab so while it's warm in the cab the rest of the bus is cold but drivers often don't list the fact the bus has no heating on the defect card so it gets overlooked.

I know the very early batch of Hybrid Enviro400's at stagecoach Manchester had major issues with the saloon heating and they ended up bringing in outside engineers to try and fix the issue.
