Sad day for London and farewell to faithful friends

Sorry, should have made myself clearer - I think it's a great design too, I'd say certainly one of the most striking bus bodies ever. And it's not the salesmen that sing its praises. 'Buses' magazine seems particularly taken by the Gemini, and I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that people have been overheard commenting on the looks (favourably). It certainly looks very striking, but why does it have a handrail on the near side upper deck? -- John Ray, London UK. |
