Will you get to see bendy buses on the streets of London again?

Doubtful and to be honest it's not important.

We need to get away from an obsession with vehicle types or some
aspect of them and concentrate on adding capacity where it is needed,

The environmental aspect is pretty important! Wouldn't running bendies
generate less polution for the same passenger capacity than using
double-deckers?

Arguably any gain on the buses would be balanced against the reduction in
the numbers of cyclists transferring to more energy-consuming modes because
bendies are such a nightmare to share road space with.
