Default Autocar designs a new Routemaster

"Paul Corfield" wrote in message


I could rant on about buggies for a long time but let's just say I
agree with your comments. The problem with the new Routemaster design
is that it is low floor, wider (the aisle would be accessible by
buggies) and would have lots of lovely space at the front of the
lower deck complete with its own door. I would envisage you'd have
exactly the same expectations of access from buggy wielding parents
as on "normal" low floor buses but with the added excitement of them
being able to argue with a conductor as well as with other buggy
toting parents and the other passengers. In such circumstances I
don't see the buses actually moving off the stop while the rowing
continues.


But at least the buggues wouldn't get in the way of other pax getting
on, as happens with current buses.
