Default Route 73 - no longer better from every angle

I've not counted them, but I'm fairly sure that *any* of the double
deckers, including RMs, have more seats. Which would show that

TfL's
claim that Bendies are more comfortable is a lie. Certainly I've
always got a seat on proper busses, and never on Bendies.

The one thing I like about Bendies is that you can (on the ones I've
been on, anyway) sit behind the driver and still see out of the front
window, something you simply can't do inside a double-decker of any
description. Okay, you can see out the left front window of a
Routemaster, but not really on a modern one, as the seats are too

low.


Some of the new deckers have a CCTV camera peering out the front window
with a display on the inside. Also, on all deckers you can see out the
front windows upstairs but of course some people are unable to get
upstairs
