Eh? Are you suggesting most people hang around downstairs even if its
packed but there are free seats upstairs?

Yes, all the time. Especially if they aren't travelling very far.

Well that can occasionally happen I suppose and it probably prevents more
people getting on unless the drivers shouts at them to go upstairs.

I've never been on a completely full double decker here in Nottingham,
but plenty of full single deckers. And the drivers don't shout.

On the double deckers around here there's a special place reserved for
them.

Great, thats one taken care of. Now what happens if theres half a dozen
mums with prams?

Why is that easier on a single decker?

But hey, double deckers are a british tradition and thats whats most
important. Screw practicality or giving a **** about the less able
bodied.

And of course priority seats for the less able bodied.

If they can reach them and if there are enough.

They are right by the front, and again I've never seen them
oversubscribed.
