Hmmm, Andy - lucky your in Oz because otherwise we'd have to
Not only were they old and dirty, but completely inaccessible for the disabled, infirm and people with pushchairs etc. When I lived in London, I was one of the many people who campaigned to have them replaced. But the Routemaster nuts (who are worse than train spotters) were/are furious - and I've even heard of them being very abusive to disabled people since the replacements started coming in. Strange world we live in.
