I am assuming London is stuck with the NRMs until they are scrapped. At least the bendies were a standard design that could be sold to other UK bus operators; we have some of them in Brighton & Hove. It does seem to be history repeating itself. Boris didn't like the bendies giving some spurious nonsense about them being a danger to cyclists (or more likely because they were Kens idea) and now Kahn has decided the roastmasters are a poor choice. Which to be fair, they are. I suppose if you're mayor of western europes largest city but you really don't have much power, buses seem to be the bit where you can leave your legacy. -- Spud |
