Does anybody here seriously think that a new bus will be allowed with
open rear deck. With the old routemaster about 10 people used to die
every year falling from the bus.

Surely any new routemaster will have to have doors which open and
close at every stop.

Whatever next. Maybe door locking should be removed from train doors
so late running commuters can catch their train. That used to kill 20
- 30 people a year before they bought door locks in.
