The demise of manual gearboxes in driving school vehicles is causing major problems for local coach operators - almost all coaches are manual. The practice used to be that you took your test on a manual with someone like GNE, worked the minimum so you had nothing to repay, then defected to the easier and generally more comfortable life of driving coaches. Now there are no manual licences coming through, small coach operators are struggling for drivers.
