It seems that the Disability rights commission is still not happy

For gods sake they are running in addition to the normal buses so if these
were withdrawn then more people would be crowding onto the other buses
making it more difficult for disabled people to get on.

I'm not the biggest fan of the RM, I found them rather uncomfortable to
travel on, and cold in winter, but these are a few buses operating on a
route where frequent Low-floor buses duplicate the service.

How about this lot get on to non-London bus operators to replace their
step-Entry buses for which there is no other choice.

Here is the detail of the formal complaint I have lodged at the
Disability Rights Commission about Mr. Edwards: may I suggest others
who see the idiocy of his comments do likewise?

"I understand that Mr. Edwards has been complaining about the
existence of 12 Routemaster buses on 2 heritage routes. He is
misleading his audience when he makes his complaint: these buses are
EXTRAS, and compliment the full number of accessible buses on these 2
routes. These EXTRA buses can no more be said to be discriminatory
than if I drive my car on the road, providing 5 EXTRA seats to be
occupied. He is also making an idiotic argument worse by claiming
that ALL public transport will have to be disabled-access by 2017: is
he suggesting that TFL and the vast majority of National Rail trains
and stations will be decommissioned as being illegal in 2017?

"Mr. Edwards is clearly a moron and does your organisation a great
disservice.
