Instead we have buses that resemble saunas on wheels being touted as
the latest best thing ever. I'd love to know how many regular users of
the 24 have abandoned the route since it was converted to NB4L
operation. Some of the tweets from people using the route have been
far from good reading for TfL / the Mayor.


Is the aircon in these buses faulty or just inadequate for the job?


They don't have air con according to statements from TfL. They have an
air cooling system.


I presume that means its just forced induction. Given the price of the buses
you'd think air con would have been specified. Or perhaps it would have
reduced their supposed enviromental credentials.

TfL and the Mayor have said the system is fixed but this has emerged
from the depths of Twitter this morning. It's from a West Midlands
based air conditioning systems business.
