Time for a bus route rethink?

In Barcelona, TMB have recently announced a redesign of their bus
network. As many will know much of the city is laid-out on a grid
pattern and correspondingly the new network is to have a large number
of horizontal (Hnn), vertical (Vnn) and diagonal (Dnn) routes, and
this new network is to be introduced in phases, along with changes to
those existing routes that will remain. The first of the H routes,
along the Gran Via, is to get a number of double-articulated buses. I
wonder what Boris would think of that?
Artics are sensible if they mostly go straight across junctions. The
25, back when that was bendy, was a good example.
