Really? The biggest problem with the old layout (for me at least) was
that it had too many very similar buses/trams, and it just got dull
very quickly. The current selection seems about right given the size
of the space. I just wish the non-vehicle exhibits were more
imaginative.

It is still extraordinary that a representative of by far the largest
family of buses, the 6000-odd RTs, is not there. The last one was
retired in 1979, so plenty of people visiting the museum would
remember them.


Agreed, particularly as they've managed to find room for one of the awful
DMS class.
