If you're caught using a bus lane during operational hours you could be liable to pay a penalty charge notice. A PCN will be sent to the vehicle's registered keeper containing details of the contravention, vehicle information and photographic evidence.
The danger zone around a bus is fairly large—about 10 feet in front of the bus. The nose, where the motor is, blocks the driver's view. The danger zones on the sides of the bus are also 10 feet because the review mirrors have a limited field of vision, and the body of the bus could block the view.
The difference between these two types of bus is that the double-decker has twice the number of decks, hence the addition of “double” to their description. That is to say, the single-decker bus, commonly called a “bus”, has but one deck, whereas the double-decker bus has a second deck, placed above the lower one.
How one couple transformed a 1997 double decker bus into a modern home for £28,000 in total. Lamorna and Gareth Hollingsworth bought their 25-year-old bus for £5,000 in 2020 and spent two years turning it into a home. Not many people's homes can move. Or generate their own electricity.
