You want to ban wheelchair accessible buses from Oxford Street????

Why is it that so many people want to take the buses away from
Central London's main bus interchange? 'Tis not as if there's a viable
alternative.

So why have you come up with the most anti-routemaster proposal yet?


I haven't. Their days are numbered, but Peter Hendy has said that some will
always remain, so why not put them to work in London's biggest tourist
trap.

Wheelchair accessible buses would still cross Oxford Street, but be able to
get on with going places, rather than clog up the already congested street.

As for calling Oxford Street London's main bus interchange, a long street
with interminable queues of buses trying to get onto blocked stops does not
make an interchange. Aldwych or Victoria are a lot more effective.
