:lol: That wasn't what I was implying at all! :lol:
I assume you like Boris for his policies and ideals

I love Boris for his stupid hair and the controversial things he come out with!

Look at road accidents, Geoff - up when Bendy Buses came in.

Geoff, the thread title does indeed suggest buses, but all I can see is two guys talking about how much they fancy Boris.

Routes with more turns and corners in central London where some bendy's used to operate. Ones already been replaced, hasn't it? I forget which number. Good in some places, bad in other. I just hate it when sweeping generalisations are made and just because a bendy-bus wasn't suited for one route, doesn't mean it's automatically unsuitable for ALL routes!
Surely the 207 has at least one bend in its route...

Not necessarily. The bus turning circles may not be part of the route...
