Default 'S no Problem! London Rescued By Bendy Buses

... The Headline Boris Couldn't Risk.

Some of London's buses would have had problems getting out this morning, but
the central area was pretty clear early on, on all major routes, and still
is at 8pm.

And yet Boris allowed a couple of dozen bendies to sit in a yard at Waterloo
all day, rather than have them working shuttles in the central area.

Even working their 'official' routes (Red Arrows), they's have made life
easier for a lot of Londoners; with a bit of imagination, they could have
also worked a straight central area East-west shuttle, and maybe a
north-south.

But the thought of Bendies being useful was a step too far for Boris.

Will they sit in the yard all week? we'll see.



yes but happens if the bus gets into a bit of a slide or cannot get
traction going round corners, something some of the drivers don't seem
to have mastered in dry weather ?
