I've not counted them, but I'm fairly sure that *any* of the double
deckers, including RMs, have more seats. Which would show that TfL's
claim that Bendies are more comfortable is a lie.

Comfort is not just seating.

Agreed! If I had to travel on a Bendy every day, I'd probably have to
wear my sea-bands - whereas on top of a double decker, I'm fine on all
but the very longest journey on the very hottest of days! The worst is
standing on a bus where you can't see out because there are too many
people. And if I were in the trailer of the Bendy, I'd probably have to
get out before I'd finished the journey.... I can't bear sitting with my
back to the driver downstairs on a double decker, either.
