Default The Boris Bus is one year old

limited)
service for a year today. Still on only one route, and still only the
original batch of prototypes, but nevertheless a daily sight in London:

I haven't travelled on this bus yet even though the 38 comes quite close
to me.
(In the old days the 38 used to terminate at Leyton Green bus depot. I
used it a lot in those days.)

Is this boris bus any good or is it like Boris: all show and no
performance?

It's nice to travel on -- smoother and quieter than other buses, easy to
get on and off. But, perhaps a bit like Bozza, it does have a weight
problem...
