De-bendification of 507

"Chris Read" wrote in news:F-qdnaM_ : an anxious 521 regular Given that a MEC is basically an updated version of a standee National and the route worked just fine prior to bendification I really wouldn't expect it to be a big deal (and much less eventful than the early days of the bendies!!) David Um, as usual in this debate people forget the large increase in passenger numbers since 2002, much as people forget the large increase in passenger size since Routemaster days when moaning about modern buses being so big and wide and everything and forget the large increase in car ownership since the streets were nice and clear* and had fewer traffic lights, one way streets, traffic wardens, bus lanes and clutter. This is presumably the reason behind having so many seats removed from the buses - someone did the maths and worked out that either PVR goes to stupid-o-clock or you run 'em full and standing. Actually, does anyone have the National's seat/standing ratio figures? Tom * which they weren't of course, I'm just having a rant at radical nostalgia freaks as usual. Reasonable, since they appear to want to raid my wallet to pay for their fantasies. |
