The best we can hope for is that is totals a NBfL before the end Someone I know says "NBFL- No Body Fu**ing Likesthem" How true No! How could you say something like that???!!! I absolutely love them! The only reason it's not my favourite is that it's made by Wrightbus.

I've only been on the 11 twice, and I must say I'm not overly impressed, but as you say others like them. I'll ask my friend what he based his statement on, should be interesting as he lives in Fulham Broadway

Amen to that I hate the poxy things because they are badly designed very unreliable and a complete waste of money when there are better designed off the shelf vehicle's capable of doing the job at half the cost. This is purely my own opinion and if others like them good luck to them.........

Well..................there is another thread dedicated to that very subject. This thread is supposed to be about RM's being withdrawn from route 9.

The hundreds of complaints on twitter from passengers regarding the temperature of these buses seems to contradict your statement... some tweets about the NB4L I leave it to the reader to decide if there has been some feedback from passengers and whether it is positive or negative. Not wishing to be devil's advocate, but... 1) that's a web page that isn't exactly going to ever praise anything Boris related if it can possibly help it 2) those that dislike are far more likely to shout louder. My main hobby is playing music (that's right, buses come second ), and the times you have to deal with people in groups who dislike music choices! Those who don't mind/like the music choices tend to stay quiet, on the whole. I think you all know my opinion : the LT is, I think, a pretty, well-riding vehicle with heat issues that can overwhelm it. But anyway, back to the 9 - I'm going to have my final ride today

But anyway, back to the 9 - I'm going to have my final ride today Yes I agree that the site has its own agenda. That is why I left it to each person to decide for themselves and made no remark beyond that. As we found recently elsewhere on this forum people's musical preferences are, as you say, a nightmare of personal prejudices all on their own.
