Default Still Bendy buses in london

I noticed some long bendy buses are doing stirling work shuttling people from
the long term car parks to the terminals at heathrow. I hope no one tells
Boris.


Pretty normal at airports -- not many cyclists there to tangle with. But I
must admit I've not come across them serving the car parks at LHR. It may
be because they're better at getting round tight corners in the car parks,
compared to long non-articulated buses. Lots of airports use bendy buses
airside, though I don't think LHR does

I recently visited Cartagena in Colombia, where the guide proudly told us
that the colourful local private buses were to be replaced by a new fleet
of bendies. I couldn't help smiling.

BTW, Stirling is a city in Scotland.
