I had a light headache by the time I got off just after Chillingham Rd.We are not well equipped for dual door (or tri-door), also i believe there was little difference on boarding times between single and dual doors on the 21 when the vykings were allocated. I really hope we never get London spec, they are designed for city running, not ideal for the type of services that operate up here!
Probably not helped that I’m not long back from London, where buses are lovely and peaceful, most of them with just a nice hybrid electric motor whine.
Then you come back up here to noisy clattering conventional diesels - with only one door for both boarding and alighting.
Ohhh how I wish we had London spec buses, haha. ;D
