Dunno maybe they are intended as job training aids rather then games. I know they do that for crane operation and heavy vehicles.

You'll need an extra large wheel to complete the immersion:

I'd buy a UK based one, my father is a bus driver, well, was, he works mainly in timetabling now but still does the odd rail replacement. I was riding around on Routemasters and Leyland Nationals when I was four or five, got a look down in the pits under a National when I was about six and reverse-parked a Leyland Atlantean (double decker) (with parental assistance) when I was about nine.

Although, it's not easy to nail a good driving sim, perhaps it's because it's American based and I prefer the 70s-80s UK bus scene that I don't take so much to it.

This looks promising though, if not particularly stellar in the graphics department, the sounds are good.

And TF is right, Train Sims are very enjoyable too.
