It's a mixed fleet - mostly Wrightbus Gemini 2s on VDL DB300 chassis
plus some Enviro 400s. Only 72 buses to replace something like 47!

Having been working near Tower Bridge and having walked from Aldwych
to there every day last week, it is quite noticeable that there is
pretty much always a Red Arrow or two in sight whenever you look up
since they were "debendified".

The stupid thing is that, even if you agree with the idea of removing
bendies, those two routes are the ones that would have made more sense
remaining as bendies anyway.

But sense doesn't come into it - this is Boris's hobby-horse.

Now there's a thought! How about hobby horses to replace bendies?
