There are seemingly a lot of **** bus drivers working in London in my
experience. A lot of them don't give a toss if people are halfway up or down
the stairs when they accelerate or brake. Probably why you never see many
elderly upstairs even if they can walk ok.

How do the drivers know if anyone is on the stairs?

Mirrors. They can see the top deck and so will know if someone is coming
down or hasn't yet got up there. Plus I imagine they can hear the footsteps
too since on a normal DD they're right behind the cab.
