Why can't one set of doors simply be disabled?


Or even plated over. That's what happened to most deckers and the
likes that have gone from London to elsewhere - replace the panel, add
2 rows of seats.

That said, provincial bus operators don't like extra doors because of
fare-dodging. If they have to have the one on the artic section
(which I think they do), a middle set won't be any more of a problem.
