the long term car parks to the terminals at heathrow. I hope no one tells Boris. -- Spud |

Pretty normal at airports -- not many cyclists there to tangle with. But I must admit I've not come across them serving the car parks at LHR. It may be because they're better at getting round tight corners in the car parks, compared to long non-articulated buses. Lots of airports use bendy buses airside, though I don't think LHR does I recently visited Cartagena in Colombia, where the guide proudly told us that the colourful local private buses were to be replaced by a new fleet of bendies. I couldn't help smiling. BTW, Stirling is a city in Scotland. |

I hope no one tells Boris. If in silver livery then probably working for Menzies who I think have a range of contracts at Heathrow. I imagine if Boris tried to interfere then HAL would tell him to "go away". Yup , definately silver. And I'm pretty sure the rear section is also slightly longer than the TfL bendies. -- Spud |

Ah, I was going to ask if it was a former TfL bendy. Three doors? |
