A better question would be - who the hell thought double deckers were
ever a good idea? Apart from taking up less roadspace

And you don't think in a heavily crowded city like London that this
one factor alone makes double-deckers eminently suitable and
sensible??

That would be a fair point except that bendy buses carry a damn site
more people than a double decker.

I am just waiting for a University rag committee to suggest a new
sport of bus-roof-hopping down Oxford Street - easily achievable, and
far quicker than actually travelling IN one of those red things!

More likely the local chavs. We've already had train surfing so
perhaps this would be the next thrill for potential darwin award
nominees.
