When someone makes a reference to horse-buses, it goes much further than
"merely making an observation". It is sarcastic nonsense and, frankly,
beneath
contempt.


Horse bus? Well I suppose cyclists do have better acceleration than the
routemasters on number 14

Those who dislike the Routemaster and, seemingly, equally dislike its
proponents.


Where have I said I dislike the RM and/or its proponents?

Only the one`s with the little phials in their saddlebags...: )

Corner and down the kings road.

That is so true.

*If* you can get on the bus in the first place and get to a seat -
there's seldom anywhere to sit on the ground floor that isn't facing
backwards or sideways (fine, if you're one of the lucky ones that
doesn't get car-sick unless they sit facing forwards) so you have to
haul everything up the stairs, if people aren't blocking the stairs, and
then down again, too....

I said acceleration, not top speed

I told my 10-year-old nephew (visiting from overseas) that under 11s
went free on London Buses. He was delighted at the thought he could
spend all day on the number 13, as he rather likes the RMs...
