I know everyone hates change, but the new StreetDeck Electroliner #buses on the 341 route are manifestly terrrrible. The seating is cramped, the flooring is tacky (and readily shows dirt), the digital signage is bizarrely placed (and astonishingly poorly executed, for a transit authority with as proud a tradition of graphic excellence as #TfL), they’re generally just uncomfortable – a big step backward we’ll have to endure for the next several years minimum. : .

Hi folks
Just joined today. I'm a retired Scottish gentleman interested in vintage buses and I hope to post some interesting facts as we go along.
I'm building a website using Hugo and I'm currently visiting transport museums and collecting photographs.
