Will you get to see bendy buses on the streets of London again?

Doubtful and to be honest it's not important.

We need to get away from an obsession with vehicle types or some
aspect of them and concentrate on adding capacity where it is needed,

The environmental aspect is pretty important! Wouldn't running bendies
generate less polution for the same passenger capacity than using
double-deckers?

Why?

When both are full theres a greater number of passengers per unit mass of
the vehicle on a bendy. Hence more efficient.

Is that so? What data did you base that on?

12 ton double decker , max pax 88
16 ton bendy, max pax 149.

You do the maths.
