Also apprentices will need to have drove a car for over a 1, and past their HGV test which I think GNE take on apprentices from 16/17(i think)/18 and not all of them would even have a car license it might be more than some.

Why would apprentices need to have passed their car test for over a year ? Why would they need a HGV licence to drive a bus anyway. Some maintenance is carried out by semi skilled staff, any safety critical work carried out by apprentices is overseen by a mentor and checked upon completion.
