Oh yeah? We have two year old twins - there is no way you can get them

double buggy and fold it up. Also, the side by side double buggy we have
won't fit at the front of the bus, and some drivers won't let you board at
the rear doors.
"Getting around London" states:
"Buggies that are too wide to be wheeled into the bus
via the front door must be folded. Buggy users are not
allowed to board through the centre doors of
dual-door buses."
Interesting! "Conditions of Carriage" is more authoritative.
I suggest someone who cares may want to raise the matter at
https://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/contact/default.asp?type=tfl which is
usefully accessed from http://www.tfl.gov.uk/contact/default.aspx.
