I’ve lost count the number of times drivers have made us squeeze all the way to the front on a packed bus to alight, when the centre exit doors could’ve been used.
Nevertheless, the issue of wheelchair passengers being left behind at the bus stations which can only accommodate front door boarding, is not acceptable.
Why weren’t ramps fitted to the front doors of the E400 dual doors, before their entered service? Surely that would’ve been cheaper than say the cost they went to convert each of the dual door B9s to single door.
The problem is though is that people don't know which doors are which so you'll have people standing there gormless waiting for the door to open when it never will.
I don't believe the dual doors were actually meant to be in service though and were meant to be for the schools but for whatever reason they're now doing daily work. You have to reconfigure the downstairs though to move it to the front door as there's not enough space because of the different layout.
