Default Just Seen bendibus now on 73



At about 11am on Oxford Street I was saw a bendibus on route 73.

Luckily it was NOT IN SERVICE so they must just be testing to see if a bendy
can operate across the route

they have been testing them for weeks - they are out and about all the
time now. 4th September is the start date for the artics.

I'd like to know how the 73 bendy bus is going to negotiate the junction
between Pentonville Road/Grays Inn Road and Euston Road (outside the Scala).
It already takes ages for the double deckers to negotiate the two sets of
traffic lights - the way ahead is generally blocked by other other traffic
when the first lights say go, so very little progress is made. At least with
Routemasters people can jump off and walk, which tends be a lot quicker.

or going away from Kings Cross - how about the sharp left turn off
Pentonville Road at the Jury's Inn Hotel to get round to The Angel Islington
??

And from that date, until today that is, I hadn't seen any more of the
trial FuelCell buses..
