You just said Oxford Street shouldn't have any buses then you said it
should have free shuttle buses. Or did I misunderstand you?

What I said was that bus routes should not go along Oxford Street. It's
virtually nose-to-tail with lightly loaded buses crawling along, held up by
traffic lights and pedestrian crossings, then waiting to get on the stand at
their own stops.


But then surely it would be much better to have a system of long
distance non-stopping buses throughout London meeting up with smaller
shuttle buses to take people to their final destiantion? Why just
Oxford Street?

That I agree with. Nor Taxis.

Can't say I've noticed them being lightly loaded when I've used them
(usually the evening peak, so it may be different at other times)

Get rid of the taxis, and the buses will move quicker. It is normally
these which cause the blockage, IMX.

Sorry if this has been taclked before!

Just wondering why are all the RM-type crew buses being withdrawn? First the
94, then 15 and now the 11? I know there are others, but those routes are
what first comes to mind.

Nes.

This may have been mentioned before, but I read somewhere that because
of accesibility legislation it was likely that the last RM/RML routes
would be those that have their whole length paralelled by accessible
buses (not necessarily the same route for the whole length)

Maybe they are in the ocean with the NYC IRT Redbirds?
