I have just been working through the PSVAR regulations which apply to single decks next month and Double decks from 1/1/17 PSVAR is the name for the Disability regs and the 2010 Act makes it criminal offence after above dates Buses with blind lights not turned on at night are NOT compliant (fine is upto £2500, or could get the Operator a DVSA prohibition notice) Also not compliant is failing to display both the route number and destination on side blind near the entrance door (that means from 1st January any single deck bus with faulty blinds or old via somewhere blinds cant be legally used) Also becomes compulsory to display the route number at rear (again it becomes legal requirement, so fines are possible if driver fails to notice a wrong display, rather than current token slap on wrist). Displaying a blank blind, front, side or rear in service also becomes criminal offence. One that might catch some drivers out, is that any disabled person who asks for help must be given reasonable assistance to boarding or alighting, no sitting in cab not giving assistance. Full regs here www.zigs.me/7C9

Most of BKs Single deckers still have via points. Not forgetting the 364s buses which just got a brand new set with via points on them. They don't have very long to change them

London is about short dwell times unlike the provinces so having manual ramps would increase dwell times. Also, the driver becomes vulnerable to abuse or worse from passengers.

London is about short dwell times unlike the provinces so having manual ramps would increase dwell times. Also, the driver becomes vulnerable to abuse or worse from passengers. Sorry but manual ramps are quite obviously far more reliable, in fact they never fail. In other big cities it doesn't seem to be a problem so why should it be in London? I'm sure London doesn't have a monopoly on abusive passengers and as for dwell times manual ramps are invariably much quicker!

I'm sure I've seen it posted elsewhere that TfL argue that the via point is a destination of the route, so is compliant.

My bus OCD means I can't stand the following:
Blinds not lit up Incorrect destination/route number Ibus not working Ibus destination inconsistent with destination on blind Ibus announcements not being used by driver to convey message to public, such as 'Drinking alcohol on London's buses is not permitted' I.e passenger blatantly drinking a bottle of whiskey at the back of a single decker on the middle seat! TfL roundel missing/not yet applied London buses not red! Don't like all over advertising!
Sorry about this I'm really finicky!

I agree with nearly all of this, except the all over adverts, gives a bit of variety. Surely in this day and age, it must be possible to link the destination on smartblinds with the iBus unit on the bus. Some of the R68/70 E200s have started to haphazardly have roundels applied, some of them on the offside only though, and the 117 batch only have them on the nearside.

The roundel I must admit I've not noticed.
