Default Roastmasters. The worst?

I find them quiet and comfortable and haven't been on one where it was
too hot. They really aren't that bad.


Agreed. I have no problem with them now the windows have been fitted
(nice big sliding ones, too, not poxy little hopper ventilators) to
solve the aircon issue.


Windows have not been fitted to any Roastmaster that I've used yet.
Another feature that annoys me is the rear door that hits passengers
waiting to get off as it opens. It ran over my foot the other day. It's
a terrible design.


The windows started to appear this summer, I think I first saw them in
July. They are a long way from being a universal fitting so far.

I've been intending to post about this 'innovation' but afraid I never
got round to it :-(


The newest Roastmaster buses have a sliding rear door - i.e. one that
cannot function as an open platform.
