They tell us they are dangerous as people can jump on/off at any time because there are no doors at the entrance. Thought the replacements were going to be European bendy busses, thus attracting EU subsidies whereas the double decker does not get any subsidies. Pete

Have only seen one artic bus but I think that was in Italy. The fuel cell has not been tried over here yet, BUT, a council and police force in the west country are trying a new fuel made from Wheat!!

True David, the Wilts and Dorset buses were the same, with the sunken aisle down the offside of the bus. Luckily the double deckers in Bournemouth and Swaythling had no passengers on!! The Bournemouth case there were no cars following and nobody on the pavement as well. They have withdrawn these for tests as it has never happened before, but it was a freak gust of around 90mph that did it. Apparently they can take the tops off for use as sightseeing buses. Single deckers are as you say more popular, I think this is because they have cut so many services over the past five years that hardly anybody uses them these days, despite the government saying we should use them more. They are expensive and most of them dirty. Case yesterday where CCTV actually filmed three teenagers setting fire to the rear seat of a bus full of passengers then getting off and running away. Luckily the drive managed to put it out/ A lot of the buses over here now have CCTV installed and some have armoured glass around the driver as too many of them are getting assaulted by teenagers and late night drunks.

You are perfectly correct there David, we have a couple of the bendy buses in Southampton/Eastleigh but they have difficulty in manoevuring the narrow roads so are not used very often. They are used a lot in Europe, especially Germany, Austria and Italy. In the gales the other night a double decker in Bournemouth lost its roof, was a clip on type, the week before a single decker ran into a house, and Monday night a double decker lost its roof going under the railway arch at Swaythling ( a favourite spot for this) despite there being flashing warnings after passing a sensor and the bridge well marked heightwise!!

It is the Red Routemaster buses only. They were introduced for a 10 year life cycle but have gone well over that by about 20 years and now need to be updated. There will also be green buses, which is the term for environmentally friendly ones not the colour!!

The Red Bus (RouteMaster} is being replaced by the new "bendy", an articulated single decked vehicle. These can carry up to 120 passengers (although many will be standing), about 60 more than the old Red Bus, which will reduce the number of vehicles on the road. They will be climate controlled and will have easier access for disabled passengers. They will however deprive London Commuters of the excitement and convenience of chasing a bus and jumping off while in motion; the cause, I believe, of three deaths last year. There have been, I believe, three cases of a fire on the London Bendies, earning them the title "Chariots of Fire." They are in use in many cities throughout the world, I can remember riding one in Vienna about 30 years ago. Here in Toronto we used them from 1982 - 2003, but decided that our system of street cars (trams) was preferable.
