Indeed Mercedes never fails to impress!  I'm agree that articulated buses (bendy buses) should come back to London however your argument on introducing conductors (passenger assistance) to tackle the fare evasion will not work as it would cost TFL a lot of money. Thus, NRMs are mostly OPO (one person operation). Anyways, TFL really needs to introduce articulated buses back on to Route 25 as that route is simply overcrowded and it was a stupid idea to replace that with double deckers. I would say the 25 was much better without artics, and it no longer gets swamped with freeloaders.............how exactly is that stupid? Yes, I admit there's fare evasion on both the bendy buses and New Routemaster but what can you do with the issue of severe overcrowding on Route 25? One way to avoid the fare evasion issue under TFL is for them to allow London to have tri axle double decker vehicles which would tackle the severe overcrowding issue but of course they fail to listen. Unless there's other ideas for it such as adding more double deckers which I don't really agree on as you could just easily get a longer double decker vehicle getting more passengers in one go. |

Yes the 25 would seem ideal for tri axle double deckers |
