Bloody hell, that's a Boltar post that I completely, 100% agree with.
Must be the end times...

Ditto. I feel worried.

The Red Arrow bendies do get very full but 50 people get a seat. Come
Monday they'll be lucky if about 20 people get a seat given most of the
area will be standee only like the old GLS / LS types that the bendies
replaced.

What's the seating/standing ratio on the 12m Citaros ordered for the
507/521? 2:1 on the bendies, of course, so I'm assuming it's about 23
seats/46 standing? I note that the 1960s Red Arrow Merlins had 25
seats/48 standing, so there's progress for you.
