I assume this means the rear platform doors will now always be
closed between stops, obviating one of the (small) benefits of this
vehicle?


This bus will now be free to most members of the public. Quite handy
in cold weather if you have no money and no ticket. You can travel
Pimlico to Hampstead and back again all day long for nothing.


The conductors didn't check tickets anyway.
