[b]BAD RB[/b].. don't you know that Routemasters are dangerous and discriminate against people with mobility issues?!
I'd agree that they were just about the most perfect bus, particularly for London.
Yes, and I can understand the need for an updated bus that has easier access, and is fully enclosed, but it's still a shame to see them gone. They were an iconic part of London's image, as much as St. Paul's, Parliament and the Tower.
I grew up with buses like that. Me and me mum used to catch the number 8 every morning, to Bethnal Green, where she'd drop me off at nursery. So, part of my earliest memories.
I'm glad they kept a few on a couple of 'tourist' routes, though.
Strangely, no-ones ever come up with owt better, really. The RMs were a superb bit of engineering, and were very stylish, imo. BendyBus? Do me a favour. Send them back whence they came! Nasty 'orrible things. Slow, dangerous and always full up, 'cos so many people bunk them. Them things are for airports. Leave them there.
