I think some only got about a day or so of practice. I've travelled by
73 twice - each time perched in the front seat so sometimes the drivers
chat. The first lady driver was pretty confident and did well getting
through the gaps but had a "crunch" moment getting into the New Oxford
St bus lane.


That turn seems tight in a Routemaster, never mind a bendy or
full-size decker, and is a prize piece of crap road layout design.
The island should be removed to make it easier to swing around.
