The 25 has been debendified as of today and doubledeckers are running its
length.

How many routes still have these monsters on them?

The 37 was still going strong last time I looked. Also the 29?

I noticed some ex-TfL bendies in use in Leicester on Friday on route 80,
between various Leicester Uni locations. They were painted bright green!

Makes sense; the Nottingham and Bath Uni-Link routes are already both
operated by bendy-buses.

Perhaps some should be considered for the Oxford Road services in
Manchester?

Major student area with lots of cyclists.

But generally wide enough for cycle lanes. And even so, I don't see
the cyclist-bendybus issue, so long as the cyclists are not acting
dangerously e.g. undertaking.

As a cyclist, I don't have an issue with bendy buses. Bus drivers in London
are generally pretty good and aware w.r.t. cyclists (though some cyclists do
seem somewhat oblivious to the dynamics of buses moving around the road
space, but the same applies to other road vehicles, particularly large
ones).

I had to chuckle on a tour of Leicester University yesterday when one of
the guides pointed out the fluorescent green bendy buses and said
enthusiastically "we've got bendy buses now, just like in London".

Err, no, you've got them because London doesn't!

37? It's double deck and runs from Putney to Peckham and has never
had them. The 38 went double deck a fair while ago.

Oops. I meant to write 73.
