    Just to add in addition to what donkey balls said - if you pass the D test in an auto, you also be restricted to automatic minibuses (D1) which tend to be very scarce in comparision to automatic large buses effectively rendering the D1 as useless. Do the test in a manual if possible.

    (PS - you're applying for a Learner Permit not a Provisional Licence).

    All the Schools of Motoring who do buses will have manual buses. There are still quite a few around. Many small independent operators prefer them and will obviously require drivers with an unrestricted licence.

    I used to do a bit of work for Aircoach and they still have some manuals. Unfortunately, as one of the few drivers with an unrestricted licence, I always drew the short straw and was asigned a manual bus. One route averaged 2,500 gear changes per shift!
