Conductor 119466 on the 15H made no use of his ticket machine on Monday
from Tower Hill c1830 to Charing Cross. Oyster Cards were merely looked
at, so no idea if these were valid and no stored value debited. On the
plus side at least 8 people boarded between stops showing what are/were
truly the most accessible buses in London.

Try using one in a wheelchair, and then let us know just how accessible it
is. Or if you're old, or have limited mobility. Or even if you're over 6'4
tall - sitting doesn't work, and standing certainly isn't. I saw an older
guy thrown off the back of one as it went round a corner, so it seems their
accessibility can be a little bit too good for some people, in some
occasions

RMs are great for able-bodied people - the leaping-on/off really is great,
and will be the reason I miss RMs the most. The only problem is that they
are complete non-starters for a large sections of the community. Its
luggage capacity is ridiculous, too, not to mention you can't fit a stroller
on it (let alone 3, complete with occupants, as I witnessed on a 38 the
other day).
