Sad day for London and farewell to faithful friends

OK - I'm a mere 6ft. No seating in city buses is particularly comfortable but I find that the Routemasters have more seats per bus that are *adequate* for me than the newer double-deckers. I haven't yet been on a bendy in London but I would expect that to be even more the case with bendies: they are comfortable provided that you get one of a limited number of good seats. That's my personal experience; others might have different perceptions. In the same way I prefer the firm ride of the Routemaster to that of most other buses, though apart from the ghastly floaty DAF buses which I really make an effort to avoid, the current one-person buses are much better than some of the long-forgotten London buses of the 1970s. At least the 73 changeover was accompanied by some publicity on the route itself, and as an Oyster card holder I received an e-mail from TfL (I replied commenting that bendies didn't seem very suitable vehicles). Some of the earlier changeovers were given less publicity than some very straightforward alterations to vehicles or operators on some other routes. Martin Martin |
