How often do bus engines require full power? Not very.

Agreed but when they do need it they really need it. The steep hills
around mill hill, highgate , hampstead and southgate spring to mind.

Even if the buses were unsuitable for those areas, that's only about a dozen
routes. You wouldn't say that double deckers will never work in London
because of the Rotherhithe Tunnel.
