Wow. I don't think you've mentioned that. That's a scandalous flaw.
In the bus, not in you!

I would be interested in what the precise cause of that is. I have a
similar thing with trains - the awful suspension and failure to bolt the
seats to the wall on the Class 180s means I can barely stand a journey
in one.

I now have this mental picture of a train with a load of swivel chairs
sliding around on every curve. Wildly swinging chandeliers would complete
the image. And some very annoyed people in waistcoats with twirly
moustaches, playing snooker and shouting "Great Scott!"

I must say, that was one of the nice things about the Caledonian Sleeper
when I travelled on it (which was, as I mentioned before, about 15 years
ago) - the bar car had proper tables and chairs you could move. It was
quite a novelty!

It also had ashtrays - ahh, those were the glory days...


Romanian sleepers don't have the movable furniture in the dining car, but
joy of joys you can get an ashtray (or more accurately, ash saucer) if you
ask nicely :-).
