Routemaster replacements

According to West Hampstead Amenity and Transport, there have been complaints about the new buses running on route 13. The complaints centre on the "lack of poles and rails in the right places to help people to get off."

This is the real reason why the loss of the Routemaster is such a shame. Buses get withdrawn. But what we have lost with the Routemaster, beyond its appealing curves, is the tradition of designing and building buses fit for the needs of Londoners.
