If you could call them that, as they were very narrow and to a very tight pitch. My impression is that seats on the Bendies are just as narrow, plus there's the problem that some of them have pointless plastic bits on the edge by the aisle and so you can't sit two normal people next to each other there, thus wasting a seat. The two seats in question can, at best, fit one normal person and a very small person with some degree of comfort. I'm 6'3" and could sit in *any* seat on a Routemaster with my knees in front of me. Can't do that in several seats on all the more modern buses. So either you're wrong about the seat pitch, or the shape of the RM seat backs is designed to better suit the available space. It's probably the latter. -- David Cantrell | Minister for Arbitrary Justice For every vengeance, there is an equal and opposite revengeance. -- Cartoon Law X |
