How bendy is a bendy bus?

Oh, and the left turn into Piccadilly too? I ask as the 38 converts to bendy operation soon, and I'll be interested to see how easily (or not) they can make those movements... You didn't mention the problems bendies on the 73 already have getting into New Oxford Street from Bloomsbury Street. I must say I'm surprised not to have seen a bendy on trials on the 38 route yet. I have seen exactly this - on Wednesday 19th there were a number of bendy-buses without destination blinds that seemed to be following the 38's route. Did you see them squish anyone at St Giles' / Cambridge / Piccadilly Circuses? Incidentally, I'm not dead set against bendy buses, but I do wonder about the practicalities of running them on some of the "tighter" routes. -- Dave Arquati Imperial College, SW7 www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London |
