Why, Chris, do you regard this as an improvement?

I'm guessing becuase of reasons stated in the previous 2 sentences that
you chose to snip:

"2. They make faster progress than the RM when on the move. This has
surprised me, but would anyone deny it is true? "

The reason I asked the question was, with the appalling standard of
driving of so many London bus drivers, who regard emergency braking and
Grand Prix-style accelerating as mandatory when stopping or starting,
the lesser braking / acceleration offered the better.
