| By modern standards, the original Routemasters were a downright dangerous design too. However I remember fondly the ability to get on and off via the open rear platform when the bus was stationary in traffic or at lights, and liked the idea of being able to do the same on the Boris buses, before the dreaded safety 'Elf' decided that modern passengers were not capable of making sensible decisions regarding their own safety in the way that those of the 1950s and 1960s were, and kept the doors closed except at bus stops. I recall relatively recently being stuck in heavy traffic in a bus on the Euston Road and having to plead with the driver to open the doors so I could get off and walk to Euston station to avoid missing my train. Back in the day I would have just been able to get off via the rear platform when I judged it safe to do so. |
