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.


True, as double deckers have been used in it, haven't they?


I doubt it... a normal single decker won't fit.
