Interesting - Leeds introduced FTRs not so long ago - shorter bendy buses but WITH conductors!! Perhaps that's the way to go even if I did love the Routemaster - biggest advantage being you could hop on and off between stops.

hooray for the return of conductors -good jobs for quick -witted youngsters

I think the mp's are the biggest bunch of hypocrites going,if they didn't insist on having such a ridiculous lifestyle with total disregard for everyone else then we could get down to sorting out the problems in this country of ours!

Good old Boris, what a refreshing change and a ray of sunshine in these troubled times.
If only there were more like him.
