God knows what the next Mayor does with them.

I know you won't like it, but I'm hoping for "fits new aircon or
opening windows and keeps them". While the platform is a gimmick and I
would expect them to be OPO in due course, I don't think they are bad
in and of themselves, and I don't (except through the heat) have
sickness issues on them and would be very interested to know what it is
(while I guess you don't know yourself) specifically that causes this.
I also think the identity of having a distinct London bus body has a
strong aspect to it, though this was sort-of achieved a while ago when
almost everything was the old-style Wright Gemini which is a very
distinctive body (particularly the front) which became somewhat
synonymous with London.

I suppose each to their own on such things - I find Class 180 Adelantes
on FGW make me feel ill, I think it's down to the lousy ride and wobbly
seats. No other UK train has ever done that, though the relatively
soft suspension and resulting sway on the Canadian did make me feel
queasy to start with, though I got used to it (fortunately, as I was on
it for 4 days!)
