Do remember though, that no routes are crew-operated 24/7.

And also that the death knell has been sounded for the Routemaster
anyway - more and more bendy routes will be introduced, and once
off-bus ticketing and all-door boarding has been introduced on other
routes the loading speed advantage of the Routemaster will be as good
as wiped out.

Just wondering, can a bendy bus make that left turn from Lower Regent
Street into the Piccadilly bus lane without changing existing layouts?

Ditto for Regent Street left-turns into Oxford Street and vice versa?

I don't know, but they seem to manage the tight corners around Horseferry
Road on route 507 without problems. In fact they seem just as manoeuvrable
as a Routemaster.
