The NB4L is trying to be a bendy open boarding, double deck, platform

passengers (as per TfL's spec) and the conductor guards the open
platform to try to stop people hurting themselves.
That's what you get when a politician who knows nothing about buses sets

Exactly the same problem as on the railways then, with the already loathed
IEP trains - which haven't even been built yet.
