Does a driver who already has a car licence for manual transmission retain that right for PSVs - or do they have to take their test on a manual-shift vehicle?
Most service buses have fully-automatic gear selection.
What about automated manual gearboxes as fitted to most trucks nowadays?
Does this qualify as 'manual' or automatic? - ie would a vehicle fitted with such a gearbox qualify a driver for driving manual-shift gears as fitted to many existing coaches?
Hopefully this link covers everything:

It is a bit of a minefield, with so many hoops to jump through now and laws seemingly changing on such a regular basis.
