The reason you normally have to stand on a bendy is that they've only
been deployed on the busiest routes where you'd be standing regardless
of what bus they use - bendies only have a fraction fewer seats. And
no one who's stood on a double decker with more than a handful of
other people would volunteer to do it again.



Well I could always get a seat downstairs on a d/d 25 mid-way along
the route before it was made "free". Now it's full of people
travelling from end-to-end for nothing who would have previously used
a combination of LUL and "One" Railway.
