Amazing job! I live in Canada and I've been to UK many times, the only car I dared to rent was a Ford Fiesta since it's small, and I've never felt that amount of stress in a car before, I spent almost 6 hours going through the Highway Code and watching KZbin tutorial on the roundabout the night before, and still almost fucked up next day. The roads were narrow, the roundabout was confusing and I had to ask my girlfriend constantly to check if the left tires were touching the curb lane. Watching you move 2 giant monsters in London that smooth is just amazing.

London buses often have ferry lifts too, as some have to be transported on ferries for delivery! There was an incident where someone had their head stuck under a bus and the driver tried to use the ferry lift to un-stuck the head. Unfortunately he flicked the switch the wrong way and the bus squatted...

Excellent video as always Steve. Really enjoyed the driving segment, especially the way you negotiated those tight corners at 1:00:46 onwards. Two things stood out that impressed me. One is the way you constantly check the mirrors to check your load is safe and that it has cleared the corners and two is the way you gave a lot of room between you and the bus you were following at 54:16. Keeping out of his blind spot (which a lot of car drivers could learn from), going slow enough to stop in case the lights changed and giving yourself a good stopping distance further along the road. Masterful driving as always. Have a great Christmas, I am looking forward to more posts in the new year ;)

The "knowing your route around low bridges" knowledge can save you from a ton of problems.. My brother and I were at a family party and arrived by train but in the evening there was rail replacement busses on two stretches of our route.. One of the drivers didn't know the roads in the town from where he started and as a result he made a u-turn over 4 lanes mainly caused and missed turn and low bridges that prevented him from getting his direction correct...

There's a reason (next to lawful required maximums for truck + trailer combinations in length) why we have cab-over trucks. It decreases the turn radius which makes it a lot easier to make the turns in the older city centers. It's also the reason why on trailers, counter-steering axles are very common, even some buses have them, and we used to have Volvo B10m buses which in the articulated versions had a countersteering trailer.

I have a question about towing things like buses. Since you attach the tow head to the frame of the bus, how does the whole thing articulate to go around corners, and where does this happen? The tow bar head doesn't seem to rotate so does the entire arm assembly rotate where it meets your truck? I can't seem to find a decent video or graphic showcasing how this happens and I'm really curious. Sorry if it's a bit of a dumb question.

Does the bus company have their own recovery vehicles, or do they just call a local company when needed? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Fair play getting in the end of the road there at Battersea,we ve a yard at the end of that road under the low bridge just past the bus depot and with bulker artics you have to be so careful with the front of the trailer and the cat walk and back of the cab! Great vid as always,happy new year to you,here's to many more interesting recoveries. Stay safe.

Great video Steve. I live in London albeit North London and there's no way I'd wanna drive through where you've driven in a car let alone in Recovery Truck with a bus on the back! Amazing skills showing how much space you need to thread yourself through those narrow streets (not helped with the Cycle Lanes being where they are!!!).

Even on regular double decker routes, still watch out for low branches. Route near me ( Grays, Essex) cought out regular driver, no parked cars, branch was about 6 inches thick over the road. No injuries, but windows smashed in. (15-20 years ago)
