Yes Dr John,But it does`nt take away from the essential simplicity of
Mookies Three Point Plan.

Quarter Drop windows as standard Side and Front with appropriately placed
Throughflow Vents should do the trick......Unless of course somebody has
friends in the Air Con industry....???

Air movement was indeed the key. I ride the London buses and Tube whenever
I am there. All four seasons. So I understand what you all are talking
about. I am from the Chicago area, so we get our fair share of both
extremes in weather.

I think i identified a contributory cause this afternoon on a no
30 - on the upper deck the heating was on. I asked the driver -
he seemed clueless.

Loads of buses have the heating on all year round, regardless of
how hot it is. I really don't know why, unless it's just driver
forgetfulness/stupidity/error/malice.

So have you complained about this to the driver, or the bus
operator, or to TfL?

No.

Ah, so perhaps the reason is your forgetfulness/stupidity or whatever in
not doing anything about it.

Umm, I wasn't the one who posted on here complaining about it. I merely
posted my experience of what the complainant mentioned. Is that allowed?

Sorry, didn't realise that you enjoyed the experience.

I'm not really sure why there needs to be heating on buses at all; it
makes it way too hot in summer, and in winter everyone has their coats
and scarves on, and the number of people on the bus contributes to
warmth as well.

I've been told (probably wrongly) that buses/trains have heaters simply
because that's a convenient way of venting waste engine heat, and no-one
thought to make it "optional"

For "local" transport (i.e those where people don't have time to
take coats etc on/off), the environment in the bus should reflect
that outside.

So, open roo(ve|f)s, puddles of **** on the floor, some tw*t with a
ghetto blaster, sm*kers.

Maybe it's the experience of complaining that we know we won't enjoy...

This is true too, though Richard seems to have slunk off since I
questioned his incorrect assumption.

As someone else said, when he did complain, he got a shrug from the
driver and a "can't do anything about it".

This is true up to a point. I'd rather be shivering than drenched in
sweat too. However, a couple of months ago (not mid-winter), I was at
Stratford about 5am and got on a 257 (?) that must have JUST come into
service. It was absolutely freezing - I don't know how the bus got quite
that cold - must have been a good 5 or 10 degrees below the outside
temperature.

And, no, I didn't go downstairs and ask to turn the heating on. Was far
too tired :-)
