Fair enough - I think the RV1 was really a tourist route by design but
it seems to have grown into something else again. Your comments about
commuter flows were a surprise to me but they make sense if you think
about the places the route serves.

Yep. So far as I can see, it's become the main way (other than
walking) to get from Waterloo and London Bridge to the Tower Bridge
part of the City, and tends to get quite busy.

Which makes it all the more of a joke when First put those tiny, nasty
little Dennis Darts on it rather than the Citaros. But I think the
demand has increased to the point that deckers are necessary, and they
do fit as I've seen one in service on that route before.
