They never actually purchased any. The handful they brought here were on loan/evaluation from a dealer to where they returned. Any suggestion there were some hidden in Jurby is just an urban myth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because my comment was linked to a comment about bendy-buses, which do not have seats. It was Longworth's intention to use them on school runs, where 100 or so children would be standing - a fair number of them not being in reach of any safety strap or bar.

I didn't see how it's Ian's fault that kids couldn't reach the safety straps. Maybe they need to grow a bit?

Kopek Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) The single deckers certainly seem to bounce more than a Mercedes F1. The inertia seems unusually strong when you stand up ? So the safety notices are probably required! Why are they so unstable to stand in? Is it hydraulic self leveling suspension? There seems to be some back and forward motion before a stop. Or is it my knees? How do you remain seated when the bell pushes are only on every other hand rail? Edited May 9, 2022 by Kopek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not been on a bus in the Isle of Man which doesn’t have seats Well the bendy buses aren't on the Island so it's the wrong place to look for the experience. They don't usually have no seats, but they have many fewer than a normal bus would for the number of passengers being carried. You have probably been on one because they are what are usually used to ferry passengers about large airports and to/from the planes. Which is fine for a five minute journey on flat concrete - less good for other situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
